If i were in your place and have your knowledge then i would have done kernel. 32 only for GB because ics and JB is to heavy for our little phone

This is my opinion

Slighlty more stable than the last release. Forgive me if I have not met your expectations. My keyboard isn't functioning properly, and my Github is messed up. I'll start from scratch again, soon. I am also working on a sense port (work hasn't started yet).

Ramzanul Mubarak.

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] pilu1978:
Not checked. :) Earlier (when I was a noob ;)), tried to port a sense rom to x8. :D It was a stock froyo from legend. :D The wildfire s also good choice, this is also msm7227, but it have different wifi (as I remember broadcom, but not sure), and have .35 kernel.

3-6 are the same (1.2V). 7 = 1.325V

Undervolt wisely. :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] pilu1978:
Are you sure? As I remember the msm7x27 soc have 5 different voltage level, and 3 level is same from the total 7 value (3-4-5 or 4-5-6), but not sure. Where you got the info?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] sgt. meow:
In a cpufreq.c file somewhere. I can't remember if it was the HTC Aria source (which is also msm7x27). I think it was.

What are the cons for flashing a custom rom?

For an example:

Does it mess with your phone if you flash a lot?

Those sort of questions!

ALSO, on my last phone, the HTC amaze, I used flash custom roms and over time it would just have an issue after issue. It kept rebooting randomly and it was just crazy.

Because of that problem, I actually moved to this phone! I'm afraid that the same problem will occur if I flash custom roms again... This phone was expensive compared to my previous phone and plus my mom would kill me if it starts having problems.

OR

Is it possible for me to stay with the stock rom and just install most of the mods from custom roms? If I could find them, but that'll be time consuming and I might mess up since I know nothing of developing and mods, just flashing :p

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: root access

Everything is a CON if you don't have root access. LOL

You will not be able to flash hardly any mods, themes or any other really

useful apps not even rom manager or titanium backup without root access.

Both of which are now a very basic app since they have become so useful.

Without ROOT your phone will be LOCKED and crippled into only being able

to use and install those apps at the playstore which do not require root.

99.9% of any mods, themes or anything else found in these custom roms will

not be possible to use, install or flash without having root access.

There is only one reason I can think of why some people don't want to root their phones and that is they are simply

satisfied with their phones and don't want to change anything in it, but those people don't really belong here in XDA.

Believe it or not but XDA was intended for those people who like to have endless possibilities, features, functions and

modifications so they can enjoy their phones to the fullest extent rather than simply having a $650 crippled stock phone.

I'm already rooted, I was wondering about custom roms :p but thanks anyways

sometimes things will bug out/not work. i flashed wicked v3 but i had problems connecting to 4g.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:
I'm worried about that, I was just about to flash wicked v3 too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:
Make a nandroid backup of whatever rom ur using presently. If you don't like a certain rom you flashed, just restore ur backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:
do i do a full wipe before i restore?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:
I usually do dalvik, data, system, cache before and after I do dalvik and cache before I reboot. I'm still new to this ****, but from what I've read, I believe I'm correct.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxKINGxX2580:
if want to use custom roms and install the mods, you have to have root access. if it's a warranty issue, even if you flash a custom rom without having root access, that's still voiding your warranty because i changes the samsung official to custom in download mode. so, you have to chose one side. no root, no mods, no custom roms, but having a warranty if something goes wrong, or root, mods, custom roms, but no warranty. you can always revert back to full stock without root for warranty issues, but it's not that easy if you aren't that familiar with phones and rooting. before triangle away, what i would do to go to full stock without root for warranty issues, was that i went to samsung kies. and i clicked on emergency firmware recovery, and i put my model number of phone (SGH-M919) then, my serial number of the phone, and then, i plugged the phone in, and booted into recovery, and i went back to full stock and could return it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
The only cons I've found so far is finding which ROM I want to use as a daily driver...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] yukinose:
full wipe if you're flashing roms, you dont have to if you restore. it does it for you, and i've done restores without wiping anything without any immediate or long term hiccups
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eyezayah:
Only real cons of custom Roms is that in some circumstances there may be a couple things that aren't quite as stable as being stock would be, but a lot of those issues are taken care of if you do a full wipe before flashing a new rom. Just follow the OP instructions, and you're usually good to go. I've used Wicked V3 and Darthstalker S4 V3 with no issues at all. Just read through the threads, and you'll be able to get somewhat of a consensus on what is and isn't working properly in a Rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
The biggest con of rooting and flashing custom roms is that everyone will see how super awesome your phone is and want to be just like you. People will form fan clubs to celebrate your greatness. Women will throw themselves at you becase rooted phones scream "Alpha male". You will have to do occasional autograph appearances and ribbon cutting ceremonies for various business and park openings as a result.

After a while all the added responcibility and living in the public spotlight might start to wear you down. That's the biggest con.

But due to your increased popularity you will get more phone calls and text messages. And every time you answer one you will do it on your rooted phone and you will be reminded of how much cooler you are than everyone else because of the nifty mod you flashed earlier that day:good:, and you will remember that it's all worth it.

Also you get to change the color of the clock and stuff. So that's super cool. :good:

How does the scratch resistance properties of the xperia screens compare to other mainstream phones with, say, gorilla glass 2? In the absence of any screen protectors? Please, just facts and personal experiences, no speculations.
[Xperia Z General] Efe64:
Trust me, you wont get any facts. Just fanboy war over here.

Send from my awesome 1080p
[Xperia Z General] G1_enthusiast:
dragontrail suppose to be stronger then gorilla glass 2.
[Xperia Z General] tudork:
But is it for sure dragontail? I haven't seen any official specifics about the screen in terms of resistance. That's why I'm interested in people's experiences. I cannot stand having screen protectors on my phone but I've never had scratches on my gorilla glass phones before and I'd like to buy a xperia.
[Xperia Z General] Ereckson:
YouTube is your friend... Go watch some torture and drop tests and compare them with other phones.. Best way to go....
[Xperia Z General] G1_enthusiast:
...only time will tell, I went screen protector free for a month and I dint get any scratch but i was being careful. Xperia Active use dragontrail, go youtube drop test on those...seeems to be super strong.
[Xperia Z General] OsiBasi:
Well Sony went somewhat retard on this phone, they put the most fragile cover on a tough glass. ( Look up Anti shatter film )

And you need the cover for Warranty and the sexy Sony Logo. So I'd recommend some sort of cover. (Unless you're fine without the warranty)

There's plenty of covers and they don't ruin touch sensitivity or brightness at all. I'm using Copter atm, it's all good.
[Xperia Z General] RoChinu:
Sony went wrong by applying an anti shatter film. It's ok but don't print the Sony logo on it for G's sake. I and guess quite a few others like the Sony branding. The shatter film itself scratches easily. Didn't remove it so personally can't say anything about it when it's off but one thing for certain and that is that the shatter film is not scratch resistant at all! So in case you want to buy one and want the Sony logo, I recommend using a screen protector over the ASF.
[Xperia Z General] GutsyTripod:
Disappointing to be honest. My phone fell face down from a distance of about 30cm when I was getting out the car and now I have a chip on the screen (and I had a screen protector on it)

I've now had to buy a case for it as the back of the phone is scratched to hell with everyday use.

My Lumia 920 was indestructible and had plenty of drops from great heights.

I'm annoyed as I bought my Z direct from Sony for £530 at launch and now it's worthless if I want to resell it.

Transmitted from my secret lair under the sea
[Xperia Z General] warface:
You say the back is scratched? Did you put the protector that Sony put in the box, or just leave it? As people have said, the anti shatter film is very easily scratched.
[Xperia Z General] GutsyTripod:
The protector came off after about a week as it didn't adhere properly due to the NFC sticker on the back

Transmitted from my secret lair under the sea
[Xperia Z General] Telomeresis:
The NFC sticker is pasted on top of the anti-shatter film. (Yes, there's a pre-applied shatter-proof screen protector in addition to the screen protectors that are already included within the box.)
[Xperia Z General] miguel_86:
Dragontail may be best than Gorilla Glass 2. I have the original protector but YouTube is your best friend.
[Xperia Z General] ST4YSTR0NG:
My Z fell from a table to the floor and one of its corners got chipped, not the glass but urghhhhh... Also, Im not sure if the sides are glass but they got scratched so easily too -.-
[Xperia Z General] kdavidyates:
The glass isn't very scratch proof. I took the shatter proof sheets off, and after a couple of weeks there were some very fine scratches on the glass. I'm very careful too, the phone has its own pocket with no keys, coins etc. The glass seems less scratch proof than that the front glass on the iPhone 4, and I put replacement screen protectors on pretty soon after removing the pre-applied ones.
[Xperia Z General] iDroid8:
I don't know how people scratch it so easily - I have a screen protector front and back and I only have 1 minuscule scratch on the front from my headphones. I've dropped many times too, on carpet, tile, wood and concrete from distances >50cm too. A little bit of care goes a very long way, it seems.
[Xperia Z General] kdavidyates:
I'm talking about the sort of very fine scratches you can only really see in strong sunlight, and wouldn't notice under normal usage. My Xperia had about as many scratches of that kind after a few weeks without a screen protector as my iPhone did after two years. It doesn't really matter which of us is the more careful, because I was equally careful with both phones and the front glass of the iPhone was a lot more scratch resistant in my experience.
[Xperia Z General] Sc00p007:
I agree with the above statement.

We're talking about the kind of scratches that other people would claim do not exist on their phone. Then when i take it look i can see them.

I got given an iphone 4 from work a couple of years ago. As i did not spend any money on it i wasn't anywhere near as careful with it as i have been with my Z.

I would quite often have my iphone in my pocket/bag along with other items. I dropped the phone on concrete paving quite a few times because i would pull the phone out of my pocket using the headphones wire. I didn't care.

As i bought my Z i have been very careful with it to the point of ocd. Nobody else has touched it. I keep it in its own pocket at all times. When i take it out i put it on top of a cloth ( work and home desk). It has never been dropped.

After two weeks the screen on my Z had as many of these micro scratches as the iphone had after two years.

Thankfully they are the kind of scratches that are not visible unless at a certain angle under intense light. But i am gutted as i really like the look and feel without the antishatter. I added a crystal clear spigen protector and it is now impossible to see them.

Luckily i am getting a new one from work, so i will give this one to my dad and this time i will remove the antishatter (i prefer the look without the logo) and install the spigen protector straight away.

Not very scientific and maybe luck plays it part, but i thought i would share my personal experience.
[Xperia Z General] TeeJayEss:
My Z has a load of very fine scratches (only visible in good light, at a fine angle) right at the point my right thumb unlocks the screen, all in the direction I swipe the screen.
[Xperia Z General] tudork:
So it does sound like the screen is not so strong as other phones with gorilla. Officially, it is not known what kind of scratch resistant this glass is (so no need to repeat Dragontail, Sony does not say anything about Dragontail. Or Gorilla). This will not stop me from buying this phone (or other Xperia) but it sounds like I do need to look for a good screen protector. There is no way I can put a screen protector on top of the already placed shatterproof film, I think this is simply ridiculous, having two screens on top of the glass. But I have never had a screen protector and I have been pretty careful with my phones and my motorola razr maxx (Gorilla 1) looks perfect after one year (no mini scratches either), so I guess I will have to get used to having one with a Sony phone. Thanks for all the opinions!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch'deng:
Hi guys, i really need help. Can anyone point me to a reputable seller online, about note 2 accessories. Coz i want to replace my rear cover, not the detachable one that covers the battery, the sim and the sd card. The one that is screwed on the frame. The one that holds the antennas, wi.fi, 3g and gps..

coz from here (Philippines), the guys from samsung wont sell it unless it is with the entire display, the screen, the digitizer and everythng, and man, its very expensive, plus, they wouldnt allow me to replace it myself. Thats why i came here.

I want to replace mine, coz the part of it that is visible outside the fon, the one outlining the fon, that silver.coated plastic edges, has obtain really bad scratches, and i hate seeing it.

Hi,

Im experimenting a bootloop in my optimus 2x with any higher version of kowaslky P4, I update my rom to Tony-p T-Build 04 and my phone not boot (clean installation procedure "Wipes+format system+delvik"), the only way the phone boot normal is installing the kernell version P4 on the recovery, I have the same problem with anothers rooms like paranoidandroid and Pengus Cyanogenmod10 that use the Kowalsky 100P5 or higher.

I appreciate any help for solve my problem.

first of all, what kind of Bootloader did you flash ?? it's new or old ? if you from old BL, and flashed the new BL, you should see this thread.

Hi antec

I flashed the phone with the new bootloader, currently my phone is working with the new BL + Tony P 04 + Kowalsky P4 and works perfectly but If I update the kernel to P5 the phone not boot, I tested everything, using the old BL + tony p4 old BL version, changing the baseband, updating the bootloarder with AIO (last version) and the only way that my phone boot is with the kowaslky P4.

thanks for your help.
[LG Optimus 2x] lg-user45:
Did you also consider the boot loader version of kowalsky kernel?
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
changing the baseband, doesn't effect the bootloop, it will erase your internal sdcard (8GB).

what recovery do you use? i use this one

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2058231
[LG Optimus 2x] rugglez:
As antec123 mentioned, check if your downloaded file for P5 is for the right bootloader and if it has been properly downloaded.

Also try changing to TWRP if you are on a different recovery, although its unlikely that it is related to that, but still worth trying :)
[LG Optimus 2x] alainjr:
Hi Rugglez, sorry for my bad english.

Im sure that I flash my phone with the newbl kowalky version ( I already installed the newbl room), before install the rom (tony p build 03) for first time, im repatition, install the newbl and install the recovery CWM 6.0.2.5 with AIO V5.5, when I flashed the phone with CM10.1 build 03 tony p + kowaslky 100P5 (the lasted in this moment) the phone not boot, I reflash the room and the kernel for several times with negatives results, I was given for test with a old kernel version (100P3) (without any wipe) and the phone boot perfectly, I return to the recovery and flash again the kernel 100p5 and the phone not boot, i remove the battery, re-enter the recovery reflash the 100p3 and the phone boot perfectly.

when im install the tonyp build 04 I have bootloop the only way for boot fine is installing the kernell 100p3 , Im try with all kernel ( from 100p5 to 123 experimental), In this moment my phone only boot with a lower version than kowalski kernel 100P5 on the tony p build 03 and build 04.
[LG Optimus 2x] Hejkompas:
You should try using an unbrick rom, nvflash, to get your phone to totally stock again. It might be possible that some leftovers from other ROMs or changed partitions screw up your new install. I've had the same problem (coming from an other rom though) that I had boot loops with every rom I flashed except the one I ran before.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MajorAly:
Hello,

My S4 is nearly a week old now, it's the international GT-I9500 octa-core version. Since it dons a big battery of 2,600 mAH (middle point of S3 and Note 2) it was suppose to last long more even with heavy usage.

My usage is moderate, a few calls, but I use connectivity extensively i.e. WiFi indoors and Mobile Data outdoors.

I tried switching off the WiFi to preserve battery and to see any boost but zilch.

Whenever I put the phone on charge, it charges very quickly and when the charging is complete and I remove the phone from the charger, it discharges pretty quickly, goes to 99% in a minute WITHOUT any usage.

What could be the issue? I even formatted my memory card from S4 as I read some bad mp3 files or something can cause the battery drain and such.

Everything is stock, both ROM and Kernel and the phone is not rooted atm

I'm attaching the screenshots for my cycle with minimal WiFi and Data usage.
