Yes, it is really a nice ROM! Not even sure if I want to change kernels or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
Runs good with the stock kernel... unless you want overclocking stay where you are at now if it does the job for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jalialar14:
Me neither, I'm running it as it came and is too good!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OM13:
I'm currently on cwm non touch recovery an want to upgrade. I'm not sure which one I should upgrade but I see a lot of devs suggest twrp touch recovery so I guess that one. Do I just download the recovery an flash it on cwm? An when I do have it installed how do I flash ROMs do I just select the ROM an the recovery will clear caches? Or do I have to flash another zip before like with cwm I flashed the super wipes?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The Sickness:
To flash TWRP you to get Goo Manager from the play store.

Open it up and click on "flash rom"... it will ask you if you want it to find you one. Select that option.

It will then say it will DL TWRP. Once it is done with the DL it will flash TWRP to your phone.

And bam....your in the latest TWRP

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OM13:
Thanks!!!!! I did it already. When I'm going to flash a new ROM what do I have to do? On cwm der was the superwipe zip I had to flash before is it the same on twrp?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The Sickness:
Dont use super wipe. Not good with TWRP.

Do a full backup first of your current rom. Do a complete wipe. When you hit the wipe option it will tell you all that it will wipe.

Next hit install from the main menu...choose you zip for your rom. Let it do its thing then reboot system.

All done
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Goliath27:
Installing twrp now, but would it conflict with my old cwm? Or does it get deleted?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rush420:
you will lose cwm an gain twrp any backups you did will still be there in the cwm folder but you won't be able to use them cause twrp isn't compatible with cwm I have my stock rom backup in cwm folder for safe keeping just incase
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Goliath27:
Ok so I don't need to remove it, and recovery mode is now controlled by twrp? I'm making a fresh backup now anyway, better safe than sorry.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azure Dragon:
No need to tell you guys about what rom kernel mod I'm using since I tested it on an unmodified Galaxy Y and it has the same results. And I don't know where to post this. :D

Please help me guys. So I bought a cheap generic low quality made-in-China earphones from the nearest mall. We're poor (kinda) and we really don't like to spend big amounts of money for these accessories. But seriously, I won't buy an earphone even more expensive than my device.

I brought it home and listened to some music. Voices were cancelled, like I can only hear the chorus and other sounds which are frequency related (maybe). I tried listening to a song made in 2008 and it was fine, I just had to increase the volume.

Then I discovered this secret button (lol) which was in the middle of it. I pressed it while listening to music and guess what. It now plays normally. I released my finger and it went back to voice cancellation. So literally, I have to press that button for 3-5 minutes when I want to listen to a song. I returned to the mall and asked for a replacement, said what my problem is, and they gave me a Nokia one. Sure the name is pretty reliable even though it's pretty old. Haha.

I listened to music while on the mall, I thought it was fine now and I hear everything cause it was just noisy there, I didn't notice that it had the same button (actually it's a button for skipping track, if plugged into Nokia phones). I brought it home, and I realized it was the same. I tried it on my brother's phone (Galaxy Y) and it was the same. I tried it on my sister's Nokia phone and it was working perfectly.

Now, my question is, how do I disable this? It seems to react that way when it's plugged into an Android device. Are there any workarounds?

Any suggestion is highly appreciated!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azure Dragon:
Update :

I experimented with the jack, I kinda loosened it a little bit, I think I found a point where it plays the music normally. So it works half plugged. Is there something I'm missing? :S
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
We don't even know which Nokia earphones you're talking about....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chismay:
you could just go get a refund and buy a plantronics m50 bluetooth headset, i got mine for about £35/$53 no connection issues, no plug compatibility problems and wireless. now even works with "google now" (press ear button and speak to google from headset) as well as streaming music
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azure Dragon:
Hmm..it doesn't stand for a model name but I think its model is WH-102.

Erm..I don't actually like a bluetooth headset since first of all I need to have my bluetooth on all the time, so it drains battery. Secondly it's only on one ear, I can't stand that. Is there a bluetooth headset that has both and is totally wireless?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Yes there are Bluetooth headesets with two ear pieces. I'm using the LG HBS-700 on my Nexus 4.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chismay:
yeah you can get bluetooth set with both ears, just search stereo bluetooth headset, i would definitively go with plantronics.

the brilliant thing is after setting up "bluetooth launch" with the tab in my backpack i can still ask google now questions without getting off my bike via wireless.

"play music"

"whats the weather like today"

"navigate to *****"
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azure Dragon:
Okay guys thanks, I'll just give this to my sister.

I'll be going to the supermalls and find what you guys are talking about. I think LG is the most probable that I can find here. I want a cheap one for its function range though. Haha.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] acefiredx:
I updated my Xperia S to JB with PCC.

I thought it would be a smooth experience, but all hell broke loose after the update finished.

1. Walkman does not work. It crashes all the time and always gives me the error "Unfortunately, WALKMAN has stopped working"

2. The album app cannot detect any of my photos stored in my device. Same goes for Ringtone picker. I have tried clearing Media Storage (It always worked for me in ICS) but it simply refuses to rebuild the Media Storage.

3. I cannot connect it to my PC at all. PCC keeps reporting an error and any of their proposed solutions do not work. When I try taking a screenshot, it says "Unable to capture screenshot, internal storage may be in use". Did the update screw up my internal storage?

I am now trying to flash it back to .55 FW. After first successful flash, it is stuck in a bootloop, crashing on the XPERIA logo. So now I am trying to reflash it again. However, I keep getting weird stuff like "Flash Aborted" or "Flash Cancelled" by Flashtool for no reason.

What should I do?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shad0wboss:
Before you hard brick your phone. Read this carefully.

You probably updated your phone to JB without resetting data/factory reset that is why you're facing force closes, lags etc. Now you should download SUS as you have effed up your phone, from here. Then follow the on-screen instructions CAREFULLY and you'll get your phone back, working with no lag/force closes whatsoever.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] acefiredx:
I find it odd that Sony didn't mention anything about resetting phone when updating via PCC.

Thanks for your help though. I managed to get it to stop bootlooping and flashed a ftf to completely wipe everything - there goes all my messages.......

Now I'm able to at least boot into .55. Should I update to JB now since it's on a totally clean slate and hopefully prevent any other unexpected stuff from happening?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shad0wboss:
Well, i'm downloading jelly bean now due to its high antutu score, which basically means more performance. When i updated from Sony Update Service, it asked me if i wanted to just update, or wanted to update with a clean install.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] acefiredx:
I see. So SUS is a more reliable option I guess.

On another note, managed to update to JB and issues are resolved. Only sad part is a ton of my past apps have about 8gb of SD data on my SD card but they aren't installed -.-"

Time to manually reinstall them.....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shad0wboss:
Cheers then, if your problem is solved.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zimbashka:
I update my phone via Sony update service and now my Google Play Store doesn't work any longer.

I did factory reset, flashed back to ICS and it is same thing, and all google apps like say that it can't reach server.

Did restore phone couple of times but no luck.

Any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Deleted member 5133333:
Possible Solution : CLEAN RE-FLASH

The New Update downloads and optimizes a few apps at start up from phone.

You will find new small apps google updates for 4.1.2 and also new chrome browser.

If you are facing the problem.

Reason is 4.1.2 Google Apps might not be compatible with ICS and vice verse.

What you can do now.

Reset Your Phone.

Check if the phone shows "Optimizing Apps" After Flashing from SONY Official Software..

If not! Flash Again With A Clean Whip.

If You are on rooted and unlocked phone and with recovery : Flash Gapps compatible with your device.

I hope this information helps you.

Reply back if there is a progress.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zimbashka:
Just found out that my router had DNS settings that change location for Netflix, and my phone was freaked out.

Now router is on default settings and everything works.

Not sure why XS was fine with it when it was on ICS.

Thanks for reply.

Best part of update is when connected to my car stereo via BT, songs information shows!!!!

I just could guess that even my SE MW600 might work with songs ID, will check later when come back from school.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] badiyee:
Hi folks. I'm sorry to trouble everyone again.

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DEV and I AM NOT A COOK.

I want to know, is there a way, where I can say take a custom ROM, and then modify the existing parts so that i can reduce the RAM footprint.

I have no experience using any ROMS except Ilyaa's CM10.1 custom ROM which he cooked up. Even on stock gingerbread i only toyed for it for a day after i bought it and immediately followed the instructions and did a custom firmware (I even had a thread about it because the first time i did it i accidently deleted /boot)

What I had in mind is to somehow replace bloated apps with apps that uses FAR lesser RAM footprint.

For example, the Trebuchet launcher is fine, but I wanted something more minimalistic so i went for Lightning Launcher and also Zeam Launcher (TagHome launcher is not available for 4.2, sadly)

What i discovered was Smart Launcher uses about 16MB of RAM. Lightning initially only used 3.1MB, (then somehow bloated up to 20MB even when i did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING) and ZEAM launcher is hovering around 15MB.

I am not sure if this is ROM related issue, but I want to ask users of other ROMS (especially the custom ICS ROMs like MIUI and DZO AURORA since its considered the best of all U8800 custom ROMs) if you can reduce the footprint?

Truthfully, I have tried GREENIFY and also another memory app that another forumer has recommnded for setting minimum values, but i still keep getting ONLY 20-40MB free RAM. I have replaced the super bloatware Facebook for Android by Facebook and Twitter and replaced them with SCOPE (far lesser RAM used than both app combined)

Does anybody have any idea of what we can do?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] AceDroidX:
As far as i know when u are connected to the internet most of the apps run in the background and thus u have less available ram. Widgets also drain a lot, try to avoid them. U can tweak some kernel values so that the system will make more available free ram , like minfree values.

Sent from my U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] badiyee:
THis is what i did. However the it does not affect my memory, and i suspect it was the ROM because of the previous versions was better. I have not tried ICS though.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mendacio:
Have you tried using an app called Greenify?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] resudo:
Read the OP for God's sake -.-'
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] badiyee:
Yes. I have. I have also stated that very explicitly.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Djuganight:
Try the app memory manager and on presets choose the option Strict....

Enviado do meu U8800, usando o Tapatalk 2.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] badiyee:
Well, that did not helped much, actually. I'm not sure what is the real issue behind it, but I'm still tinkering with some of the ROMs and installing what I perceive as low-RAM-usage apps.

Currently i'm running GREENIFY and MEMORY MANAGER (that sets the minfree values) and hopefully by later i'll come out with something useful.

I'm not that of a poweruser, so using another custom kernel then doing some adjustments not specified by the dev is a little too much to me, unless I know i can follow through with the steps.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kregstrong:
2 questions. Where are pinned songs located and do they get saved when u wipe and flash a new rom? If they don't is there a way to move them? To SD card or something
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neuspadrin:
Needs root access:

/data/data/com.google.android.music/files. If you wipe + flash you will lose it.

I moved to SD card using Solid Explorer. First killed the music app to makes sure it wasn't running. Then backed up the files to my sd card and removed the directory under /data/data. Then I added a symlink of my SD card's location over in /data/data/com.google.android.music/files. Haven't tried flashing a new rom yet to see if they remain, but the files should stay there. I may need to look into backing up the databases or something as well to the SD card to make sure it remembers what songs it has downloaded. At least they are using sd card memory, which was my more pressing concern of how to do. Maybe move all of com.google.android.music over to external sd.

I'm not sure how symlinks work during a wipe of system for new install? So might want to remove the symlink before flashing new roms? Then recreate once flashed and installed google play music again.

So annoying that google doesn't allow switching that location to external. I want to be able to flash new roms and not have to re-download again. Also way larger storage available on my sd card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kregstrong:
Im gonna try that out yea i hate that u cant put them on sd card or atleast have a list of previously pinned music that i can easily just repin them all. I never know which ones i had
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neuspadrin:
I have a playlist titled "Phone" that I use to synch or remove songs from my phone. Once the playlist is pinned, it just always stays up to date with what it contains. So I can add/remove tracks and albums from the computer and then refresh my phone and it does the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kregstrong:
Are u serious??? Man that's exactly what I wanted. So it automatically downloads them to my phone if I pin them on PC???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neuspadrin:
You pin the playlist on the phone. Then modification to the playlist (done by computer or phone) will then trigger the playlist to also update on phone with those changes. If it doesn't start the update automatically you can also hit menu then refresh music on phone to trigger a check for changes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] MadisonGuy:
I am hoping for some help on this. I have searched all the forums, and I've been at this for hours now, so I didn't just come on to complain without trying. I hope there is a kind soul that could give me some advice.

I was flashing the new cyanogenmod nightly. I had the previous one from the 23 and it worked great, but I had recently switched back to my stock recovery to make sure which I really liked better. I used TWRP and goo manager exactly like I did the previous time. It reset, the little blue words saying booting to recovery mode came up and then it turned off. Nothing.

I look online and I ended up taking out the battery and then pressing power, center and volume up. This makes the samsung logo come up with the booting for recovery for like a second. Then it just go back to nothing. I have done this around a dozen times now. Can anyone give me any advice on what the heck I should do now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] C13v3r0n3:
Let go of the power button as soon as it vibrates but continue to hold volume up and it should go into recovery, also try to get into download mode and odin back to stock.

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] beniamin24:
Does it work for Xperia S JB?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ZeroInfinity:
Do that and say goodbye to booting rom...

The file is the main configuration file for audio. Mixing with different phones means you have wrong configuration which will cause your devices to not boot.

Any files in snd_soc_msm cannot be universal due to everyone having different hardware and software.

Would this work on zl
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] tanoxxx:

what's the differents in fact?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ZeroInfinity:
There isn't much point; if you haven't already noticed, I've been boosting the volume since v5.0 of my mod lol and still going.

There won't be much difference if you have PXA installed already.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] djsnoopyxxl:
I have test it and for me is the ext. Speaker to loud.

The Sound is to heavy and not nice.

With the Headphones is it ok.

I will see to make a mod only for Headphones.

@ ZeroInfinity.......did have see a bug in my Lockscreen?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] tanoxxx:
For aosp rom all volume are perfect..

If you don't like the sound you can put down the volume and use the equalizer..
