hey,

regarding:

"Ringtones..... What file types are acceptable for use? And what can i use to convert mp3's to a decent length and size for use as such."

you can use wav files, midi and wma. for mp3s; you can always find a decent mp3-wav converter...but that would mean your filesize for one ringtone would be big. what you can do is convert it to wma; that should make the size smaller. or; you could play the mp3 via your xda and then use the recorder to record a part of the mp3 song you want....(recorder to record...a little redundant there :D )

for the first one; are you saying you want to take out the entire o2 rom???

cheers
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] prd00:
you can find LAME here

http://mitiok.cjb.net/

command line is: lame --decode <mp3file> <wavfile>

This is the highest quality encoder/decoder for MP3 available

as for WMA, there are 2 ways of creating this.

1. Put your device into the craddle, open Windows Media Player, put every file you want to send to the playlist. Go to CD/Devices section. On right hand panel choose your XDA as your device, and press sync button.

2. Take of the SD card, put into your SD card reader on your computer, do like above, but this time choose your SD card as your device.

There is one annoying bug at WMP9 even WMP10 beta. sometimes, if you are lucky, your MP3 file will be converted to WMA automatically and then transferred automatically. Otherwise, it's just plain copied. This is not happen to WAV files anyway.

The only O2 related item is O2 wallpaper there, and support link. You can just delete the shortcut from the start menu, and it's gone. Much of O2 related item are third party software actually. Your SIM card functionality is hidden under Programs->SIM Tool kit.

Hi. I saw a few days ago a tweet from SamMobile on twitter about the future update of galaxy S3 and note 2.

As the tweet say the update will roll out on June. My question is why Samsung didn't gave us a leaked firmware like 4.2.1 for testing? Maybe the tweet is just rumor and they are doing it to keep people focus on Samsung?

[Sony Xperia ZL] AndroidBR:
What's the difference between a generic European ROM (available to download under Development thread) and this one that you are providing?

You mentioned that the frequency is different (uncommon) in Brazil, but shouldn't Band 7 LTE be the same all around the world?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Julianocas:
You meant this one: [FTF] C6503 Customized MEA 1272-3738 10.1.1.A.1.253

It's Arabian region...

According to the image, brazilians are abble to get C6503, regardless of ZL or ZQ... the important is the number of the model.

The brazilian ZQ is the C6503, wich is sold anywhere else as ZL...

Where the bands match with brazilian market (e.g. Europe and almost the rest of the world), the LTE model will be this the C6503 and HSPDA C6502.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks

So it's "OK" to flash any C6503 FTF, since it's the same thing...

But I think that the update was just released to C6502 and C6506 phones, Sony says that the C6503 version is out since May 17th, but where? :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] AndroidBR:
I don't really know why you brought up the Arabic ROM... But anyhow, I had tried several CM10.1 ROMs and FreeXperias as well, only to find out that the speakerphone feature was missing. I absolutely need loudspeaker for work, so I had to revert back to stock. I flashed the latest generic European FTF ROM I could find here but I was having a hard time connecting to my 4G/3G/2G networks here in Brazil. Sometimes, when I'd run out of 4G coverage, the phone would completely lose service and would not switch back to 3G or 2G in order to maintain the connection on its own (idle connection), even if I selected automatic search under network settings. After I flashed the FTF file you've provided these connection problems that I just described seems to have disappeared. Another interesting detail that I've noticed is that now when I'm using my cellphone's 4G data, instead of displaying the little 4G logo, it now displays LTE. I drove around town tonight and noticed that the phone was successfully switching between networks in idle as well as during and after I placed phone calls, always returning to 4G whenever available. Thank you so much for sharing this custom built ROM for the brazilian market! I really appreciate it! :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] Julianocas:
I'm using the [FTF] Xperia ZQ (C6503) 4.1.2 - 10.1.A.1.434 - Customized BR 1270-5681 R7A Firmware. It's the stock unbranded FTF from Brazil. (the phone came with Vivo branded FTF)

Xperia ZQ:

2500/2700 MHz

Brazil dont have 700MHz for LTE, only in 2016 because that is used for analog TV

Xperia ZL(EUR/USA):

700 MHz
[Sony Xperia ZL] AndroidBR:
Yes, yes, that's pretty obvious though... That's why I have purchased the ZL C6503. It has Band 7 2500/2600MHz. It's the very same thing as the ZQ (Brazil).

That's why I asked what were the specific differences between a generic European ROM (thats came with my phone) and this one, made for the Brazilian market.

By the way, I think we're going to be getting Band 4 700MHz a lot sooner than 2016. Somewhere in between fourth quarter of 2013 and first quarter of 2014. So said a Vivo rep that I spoke to last week. Fingers crossed!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Julianocas:
This is a lie.

2600 is the "almost" worldwide band.

700 is almost only for US.

I've posted the list of band...
[Sony Xperia ZL] AndroidBR:
Hey, be nice...! I wouldn't call him a liar, but I'd say that both of you are mistaken... :D

As you can see on this URL http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ the 700MHz band is mainly used in North America.

On this other URL http://developer.sonymobile.com/2013/01/24/lte-coverage-for-xperia-smartphones/ you'll find that the 2600MHz band should probably not be considered the "almost" worldwide band. ;)

It's not just that the 2600MHz band is available in more countries. I'd say that the fact that our ZL/ZQ C6503's LTE radio has most of the bands (3, 5, 7, 8 and 20) that are available in more countries around the world that makes this a great worldwide device. :thumbup:
[Sony Xperia ZL] Julianocas:
You can see on this link: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks that Apple forgot that Canada...

And u also can see that Europe and rest of the world uses 2600.

The "700" thing came with iPhone 5 owners in BR crying that 2600 sucks and the world's best freaking awesome band is 700. And it's a lie... ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] DeathMetalDiamond:
The only flaw of this firmware is that it's odexed. Other than that, great FTF. Would love a deodexed version, if any exists.

BTW, also waiting on .253 to be brought to ZQ. Of course we can flash the ZL version, but then it seens we'll lose 4G connectivity even if we flash only ZQ's baseband files (at least the LTE option does not appear in the list of network modes...).
[Sony Xperia ZL] Anunakin:
For now the only band in use in Brazil is the 2500MHz

You can see it on service menu.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Sayid_the_Lost:
I'm having this problem with my internet when changing from 4G to 3G network, good to know this room fix it. Now i'll decide if i install this right away or wait until .253 rolls out for us.
[Sony Xperia ZL] AndroidBR:
I'd install it right away, only God knows when Sony will end up releasing 253 for the C6503. Besides, you will be able to find out if this build actually addresses your internet problems like I've mentioned here. Hopefully it does the trick for ya! Please report back with your findings! ;)

Edit: I've just flashed 253 on my ZL! So far so good... Looking forward to testing the network coverage outside tomorrow. Wish me luck!
[Sony Xperia ZL] dbolivar:
Hey AndroidBR, any luck with the 253 ROM you flashed? Is the problem about switching between 4G/3G/2G networks still there?

If it's working, is it the MEA (Middle-East / Asia) ROM?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Julianocas:
I've flashed and I've got no problems whatsoever with the switching between network frequencies.
[Sony Xperia ZL] AndroidBR:
Same here. I'm using latest 253 as well without any problems. Just to make sure my phone was not defective, I've tried my own SIM card on a demo ZQ at a VIVO retail store running 350 here in town and it's the same thing. No matter which ROM we're using in our phones, it takes on average, almost 3 minutes to search and display all available (4G 3G 2G) networks to choose from. I think this is crap. I'm thinking about selling my phone just because of this "problem", or should I say "characteristic"?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Julianocas:
The problem I see it's the wifi. It drops regularly and the signal is poor. But this is general for every ZL/ZQ.

Hope Sony give attention to this matter soon. ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] AndroidBR:
I've noticed that too but at least at home I don't seem to have this problem too often. Sometimes when I wake up the phone I can't see the Wi-Fi turned 'ON' beside the network signal strength, but in less than one second it kicks back in. Display glitch or was it really on... I can't really tell.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Julianocas:
The Germans are receiving the update from 434 unbranded to 253.

Maybe the brazilians will receive it too.

Btw, any one knows if this is a bug?

[Sony Xperia ZL] AndroidBR:
I don't know what you're referring to, I'm using the free version of XDA Devs app... Here's what I see when I select your post:
[Sony Xperia ZL] dbolivar:
Hi, thanks for the replies Julianocas and AndroidBR. I have also flashed that ROM and confirm it's working properly. Regarding the wi-fi, I agree it has a weak signal specially compared with other devices, but I don't think it's ROM-related, but more a characteristic of the device. Perhaps it lowers the wi-fi power to save some battery when idle... I say this because when I start using the network, the signal sometimes gets stronger.

But you can see this also in the Gmail app. It happens when you select something that gives you the choices above the screen.

It's the same as I go to VIVO right now and buy one for me... Right?

If that's so... You just need to flash this FTF via flashtools, following the tutorial...

And I did have the GS3 also, and is simple as the S3 is. Just with different programs and methods...

Anyone confirm if this FTF (.434) already have the OTA for .253? Like the unbranded from Germany are receiving from PCC?
[Sony Xperia ZL] DeathMetalDiamond:
Yep, pretty much. I also got that issue. I believe it's something to to do with the JB sources that Sony uses, as the Media Server process also started being a nuisance in my Xperia TX when I updated it to JB from ICS, even in custom ROMs. In the ZQ, it bothers me a lot as well, as sometimes it shows to be using more battery than the screen (which is the agent that usually uses the most battery if you spend a lot of time with the panel turned on). Really annoying.
