I just add what is missing from the list so far

1. How come no body mention Pocketmax's Phone Alarm? It works much better than PocketZenPhone.

2. Card Export II - Make yr magician become a SD Card reader (no need to have Activesync installed to transfer file to yr Magician)

3. PocketBreeze - Put yr Calender, Task, Contact nicely on the today's screen

4. Access NetFront - Works better then Pocket IE. Able to get in some sites that Pocket IE could not.

5. Griffin's Total Remote - Convert yr magician into Universial Infra Remote

6. Cyberon Voicecommander - Voice dialing, open program ... etc. Much accurate then Microsoft one.

7. Omega's 1-Pass - Lock yr device w/ password. Work much better than the default one

8. Mort's Button - Launch button menu. Open apps without stylus.

9. AE button Plus - Lauch Apps with # of pressed on a button.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamesoul Master:
This is probably a stupid question, but can Logo2Menu be enabled via Trickster MOD if the ROM/kernel doesn't already have support for it? I see the option for it in there, but I'm running a custom kernel at the moment so I have it already anyway.

All the newest Sense ROM's are running stock kernel by default and don't offer Logo2Menu unless you install a custom kernel, which are all based on older source and have a few problems (like lack of IR blaster support and video playback issues). I'd try it, but I won't be able to until the end of the day, so I figured I'd ask first in case anybody knew.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamesoul Master:
In case anybody was curious, the answer is "no". Without the custom kernel, there is no option to use Logo2Menu... -.-
[HTC One X] SrebX:
I bought a device with a pretty bad CID, it's very unfamiliar... HTC_K18 , if anyone's knows about this by any chance

Anyway, after I got tired of waiting to the Jelly Bean update [which only arrived 2~3 months ago I think], I rooted my device and got a custom ROM

Now, that my CID finally got the update, I wanted some suggestions on how to do this...

I checked out some threads that guide newbies, such as me, on going back to Stock ROM. With all honesty, I didn't completely understand all of them, and the ones I did required to download firmwares which is tricky with my CID, so I need some advising..

Whats the best way for my condition to do this, and with the lowest chance of screwing up my device?

Is the best way to get 100% stock, and then get the updaet via OTA, or download and install the firmware directly?

I have a nandroid backup I have saved in my computer for this day, so if it's helpful lemme know how to use it :3 [Honestly I forgot do nandroid backup before I Rooted, so this is someone else's back up, with the same CID and ICS Firmware]

My current firmware is: 2.17.402.2

Thanks in advance :),

SrebX

Edit:

After I downloaded the JB update via OTA and pressed Install now, it rebooted, then went into Recovery writing down there "Installation aborted" :3

How can I fix this? ><
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Post the result of fastboot getvar version-main

Just to be sure about your version main... There's no nandroid backup for your cid... You should have taken a nandroid backup of your device before rooting it... :rolleyes:

[HTC One X] SrebX:
As I said, I have a Nandroid backup of my CID from someone else, is that not good enough? :3
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Yes... It should work... Provided the version main matches... :good:

-Sent from my IceCold One X!
[HTC One X] SrebX:
Thanks for the reply :)

But how do I do it?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Unpack the nandroid backup to the sdcard if the phone (mount the sdcard as diskdrive in the recovery) and put it in the backup folder

I assume for a minute its taken with the CWM recovery. So it should look like this :

Sdcard\clockworkmod\backup\*date & time folder*\backup files

Copy the boot.img from the backup folder to the fastboot folder on the pc and flash it

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fastboot erase cache

Then enter the recovery and perform a full wipe

Factory reset

Wipe cache

Advanced-wipe dalvik cache

Mounts&storage-format cache,data,system

Then restore the backup via the backup & restore menu inside the recovery
[HTC One X] SrebX:
Worked like a charm

Thanks a lot mate :)

Now, if I want to install a Custom ROM, all I need to do is the usual Flash?

Edit:

After I downloaded the JB update via OTA and pressed Install now, it rebooted, then went into Recovery writing down there "Installation aborted" :3

How can I fix this? ><
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Flash back the stock recovery and try again

http://db.tt/OtcxVXh5
[HTC One X] SrebX:
So I'm supposed to put this in the fastboot and type "fastboot flash boot stock recovery 2.17.img" ?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yes or rename it to just recovery.img first and then flash it ;)

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Fastboot erase cache
[HTC One X] SrebX:
Worked!

Thanks a lot :) I really appreciate the help

So now if I want a custom ROM, I gotta flash my old Recovery back, then the usual ROM flashing process?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yes flash the custom recovety back, MAKE A NEW STOCK NANDROID AND KEEP IT SAFE :D.....you need it again to update in the future and then you can flash custom roms again ! :thumbup:
[HTC One X] SrebX:
Thank you so much :)

Solved.

Very good ! :thumbup:

Happy flashing :)

My question is why would you want to disable them? If a presidential alert was ever issued I think you'd definitely want to know about it as they are not issued often at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 0reo:
On my old Droid X I used to get Emergency Alert System Tests under the "Presidential Alert" heading. They were obnoxious. Not to mention the fact that I simply don't use my phone that way and prefer to get my emergency preparedness alerts from other sources. Oh, and I also have a real problem with .gov cramming this useless nanny-state garbage down my throat.

You want your "[propaganda] alerts" that's fine, don't turn them off. Some people want them turned off and the link above explains how.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheMavic:
That's strange that you got common EAS tests, as I have never received one in my history of owning a smart phone or any phone for that matter. I think it would be a wise idea to keep them on there just in case you are not around "other sources" if something crazy happened. Just my two cents. But thanks for the contribution, I am sure there are other people that feel the same way.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jweimn:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] adventure_of_link:
In all the time I've been a smartphone user, I've gotten test alerts every once in a good while, and the only emergencies I've ever gotten was several flood warnings, despite the fact that in that realm of time we even had tornado emergencies and ZERO EAS alert on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 0reo:
This shouldn't even be a conversation. If you statist sheeple want your paranoia alerts no one is stopping you. Yet you have this retarded mental breakdown that those of us capable of self reliance and critical thinking need to be convinced to see things your way. You just can't deal with the fact that your view isn't the only one, can you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheMavic:
Not really, it's just tinfoil hat club conspiracy theorists like you that have to denouce a tested and proven method of keeping the general populace safe. Did you throw your FM radio out the window when it started giving weather alerts? :rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
Looks like the oxygen is pretty thin up there on your high horse.

It's ironic that you mention critical thinking skills because your rant is clearly and concisely demonstrative of a lack of said skills. You may want to study up on logical fallacies because you've relied on them heavily.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dimgsm:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hotleadsingerguy:
The reason nobody is agreeing with you is not because of your stance, it's because of your attitude. Even the people that would normally agree with your point of view most-likely closed the topic and shook their head because you're coming across like a spoiled teenager telling his parents he doesn't need their help and wants to do things his own way.

If you don't want the alerts: Wonderful; however, calling people that see a need for the alerts (or at least understand the reason for them) statist sheeple and [mental retards] is beyond reprehensible.

Oh, and read najaboy's response...then do a google search for logical fallacies. It's like you're just going down the list while creating your argument and demonstrating every one.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FouLu:
Hello,

I've browsed the xda forums and few others extensively for solution of my issue, though to no help at all.

For the starters some numbers and general info:

Phone: R800i Xperia Play, 2.6.32.9-DooMKernel, Xperia NXT v.1.3.

Only default stuff running in the background.

For testing and possible solution, apps I've installed:

Advanced Task Manager,

No-Frills CPU (min. 134 MHz, max 1.114 GHz, smartass, sio),

Battery Defender (Temp 32C, voltage: 3.0V, changed from 4.0V).

I always keep Data, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS off, unless I need them. Brightness is about 30% most of the time, no auto-brightness control.

For solution purpose I've got manual network selection for 2G, usually it is 2G/3G auto search - never got issues with this.

I've got two batteries, stock one and a Tell Me one, both 1500 MAh, both never had any issues.

Today morning (7AM), as usual, I've disconnected fully charged phone from the charger. I haven't noticed a thing that could be off about the phone.

I've went to the work, and around 11 AM I've messaged a little, and then I've noticed a weird thing - phone was very hot and the battery info said that it is on around 30%. Of course, first I've tried was to reboot the device, and lower the maximum frequency of the CPU.

Unfortunately it wasn't a bug or a mistake - phone really had around 30% charge left. I've got a usb cable from a co-worker to keep the phone from dying.

In the meantime, I've tried resetting the phone to factory defaults, tried flight mode, setting everything to off - nothing helped. Also, what's more weird - phone was charging incredibly slow (that might be because of charging from PC USB) when turned off and it still was hot.

I've realized that phone is getting really hot only in one area - near top right corner (place where light sensor is), on the backside, after you extend the phone (there is a little screw there, under 'sticker').

After getting back to home, I've tried charging the first battery to 100% - it completed, using stock charger, but it took quite longer than expected. Discharging is quite fast - 1% per 4-5 minutes. In ~50 minutes I've got 90%. This gives roughly 7 hours of work on battery. In flight mode, with everything turned off, with CPU on 134 MHz.

On a second battery, which I have in right now, I am steadily progressing from 93% to the 0% at the speed of 1% per 3 minutes.

Phone is +2 years old, not on warranty.

Any advice could be really appreciated.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
Is it a stock battery or an aftermarket? I had an aftermarket battery once. It had a similar response in my phone. Bought another battery. OEM and solved it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Maybe it's battery fault.

One of my battery did the same thing (it even got even bigger due gasses inside it). Replaced it and it's working fine.

If it happends on both batteries, maybe it's hatdware issue. In worste case, something inside phone is shortcutted and drainibg current, causing heating. Maybe opening phone and cleaning parts inside could help.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
Wouldn't hurt to open it up and using an eraser clean the battery contacts inside phone and on battery itself. Then use a can of compressed air to blast that bad boy.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FouLu:
I've got two different batteries, stock one that came with phone, and a second aftermarket one, which was rarely used - only on long trips when I wanted to play. Both of them couldn't be damaged like that.

Phone never fell on the floor, is always in protective rubber-like 'case' and of course it never even touched water.

Right now heat is strong enough to be a bit painful if you slide the phone out and touch the light sensor area on the backside. I will try to get some torx screwdrivers and open up this part, but I doubt I will find anything. I was wondering if switching back to stock rom could help.

I'm really at loss here since I don't wanna buy new one, though they're cheap right now (about 150$ in my area with 24 month warranty, without any contract), since I've got some holiday plans and wanted to have some more funds. I can go by with the 4-5 hour discharge time if I have a cable on me since I'm working at the office with computers. I can always charge the phone, but knowing that usually I never even fell under 80% after 8 hours at work is kind of bothering.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
Have you reformatted the phone via flashing a ftf file... see if that fixes the issue.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Maybe try to use it without battery. Connect charger, remove battery while still powered on, and wait 15minutes (as i recall, it will not turn off). If phone is still hot, then it's not battery related problem.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FouLu:
Actually I've tried this and I've got some results. Phone turns off when it stays this way in OS for a while, so I did that in Boot manager, which I thought won't be affected by OS itself, and I was right - phone stays on, with screen on. Unfortunately, it is very hot in the 'usual' place. So we can root out the possibility that this is a battery issue.I am not quite sure, but also this is certainly not antenna, since it is off in the boot manager, as well as WiFi, BT and GPS.

So could it be that the kernel itself, which must have some module responsible for power management, went crazy? That is just my wild (hopeful) guess, and I wish that flashing will help. Any ROMs that you can advice?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Well, to test if everything is working properly, flash stock firmware with flashtool (even kernel). Test all functions of phone with apps (wifi, BT, gps, 3g, flashlight, tear-front camera). If all works, maybe some chip is overheating.

In that case, if you don't know how to open phone, maybe it's best to take it to service.

If you do know how to open it, first start cleaning enterier. If that don't help, try to power it while dissasembled, and see what chip is overheating and google for it's model to see what it is.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FouLu:
Thanks for advice. I will flash the phone completely to stock and test it. Actually, if it is turned off, it is not heating up but starts to when I try to charge the battery.

I'm working at IT company, but my knowledge ends at the desktop computers actually, certainly I am not into electronics - I can tell when capacitors on motherboard are starting to go bad, but that's it. Starting from laptops, some parts are to small and prone to damage to be just opening and looking around.

I suppose if the stock kernel won't help, I will seek assistance of some service since they always give some kind of warranty for repairs. Of course, I will keep this topic updated, since there might be same kind of lost soul with the same problem. ;)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
When you are on stock kernel, test offline charging too (phone turned off, but charging). So heating problem is only limited to battery-charging electronics-kernel).

Post your results when/if it's fixed, no matter what they are. Good luck
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FouLu:
Unfortunately, after flashing to stock R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf I still have this weird overheating issue and the battery is draining really fast. Seems like this is hardware problem, not a software one, since I tested it in many different ways to no help at all.

I will not let go off my XPlay, as I will visit service and try to repair The Best Gaming Phone to Date, though I will buy a new phone, which will be Xperia S, since I've got my eyes on it ever since I played on my friend's one - Final Fantasy 7 with OpenGL plugin in fpse looked really great, and the controls were fine for my tastes.

When I get the XPlay fixed, I will update this thread, since I like this phone and would like to have it back and running.

Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it ;)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
They may close the s–off exploit. Right now there is no root exploit necessary, just unlock via htcdev. Unless HTC starts blocking the One (unlikely at this point IMO), you don't need to worry about losing the ability to root and mod.

But if you think you'll want to s-off, do it now.
