I am trying to flash crpalmer's custom kernel. I read in a FAQ thread that, being S-OFF, all I have to do is install the zip like I would a custom rom in CWM recovery. When I flash it, it does not give me any errors.

Upon reboot it just sits at the HTC screen. I can reboot into recovery and use a backup and it works fine.

Sorry if I'm making a dumb mistake and thanks for the help. I'll keep searching in the meantime.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Either you have a bad download or you aren't waiting long enough for it to boot.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jauk:
I just waited close to 10 minutes and it is still sitting at the htc splash screen. I downloaded it twice; I guess I could restore my backup and try again?
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
What ROM are you flashing his kernel to? There's is a Sense kernel and a ASOP kernel that he's provided for us. Make sure your using the right one for the right ROM.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jauk:
Cyanogenmod 10.1 - I just clicked the download link, I didn't see an option.
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
Are you flashing this kernel?

[HTC Droid DNA] Jauk:
No I was not! I just clicked crpalmer's name and saw that and realized what I did.

Thanks, sorry about this!
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
Lol you should be all squared away flashing this! I'm on the same setup.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jauk:
Great, I can't wait! Now if only my 4G would work...
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
What's wrong with your 4G?
[HTC Droid DNA] Jauk:
Not sure, I just don't have it for some reason.
[HTC Droid DNA] reaverclan:
get this and under preferred network what is chosen? it should be auto cdma/lte-gsm or jsut cmda/lte.
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
You should dirty flash your ROM before flashing my CM kernel. It works across multiple ROMs by having the installer pull data from the existing kernel which would now no longer be correct!
[General Questions and Answers] ComputerGeeks:
Hi I am new to xda and I hope I am posting this in the correct place. If not just let me know. If this has been addressed elsewhere on this forum I could not find it.

Well my issue is that I have installed Mavrom 4.5 on my Motorola Milestone/Droid 3 XT861. I have the radio flashed to the XT883 version with the build.prop. There seems to be issues with the toolbox that I can't figure out. For example. I am trying to install the theme RipperRed and it does nothing. It shows "installing null" then reboots. Starts back up and nothing. No changes. I read somewhere to go online and download the zip file online and manually install through bootstrap. I am not really familiar with how to do that but I can figure it out. If I only had the freaking red ripper theme zip file. I have googled like crazy and have found only one place where the zip resides and that's droidforums .net

Problem is the link sends me to minus .com and no matter what I click the page just refreshes. I assumed I needed to sign up for an account with minus but I don't want to do that. I'm not into tracking and location software for many reasons. And it seems I could not set up an account on my pc with minus because the same deal upon clicking the register link. Refresh, telling me to go to google store on my phone and install it. Well I love mavrom but these issues are killing me. Does anyone have the ripperred theme to send me and/or any info on how to install? Or how I can fix the mavrom toolbox. There are other issues with the mavrom 4.5 toolbox as well but I'll just deal with this right now. Thanks in advance!!!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliebigpot:
Short version:

Before you bought the Xperia SP, which other mobiles were you taking into consideration and what made you choose (or not) the SP?

Long version:

Here's the thing: today I was ready - I finally went to a shop and proudly said "I want to buy the Xperia SP". Unfortunately they only had the white version so I'll have to wait one more week. This was quite disappointing because I really, really wanted it so badly and since I now have another week to decide maybe there are other/better alternatives among midrange smartphones?

Thanks!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fealakwen:
Tons of others phones.

Optimus G, but no card slot. Nexus 4, same problem.

Galaxy S4, unfortunately far too expensive.

MI2-A, no SD slot, again.

Motorola Razr HD, CPU sucks. Same with the HTC One X+.

HTC One? No way to get a 64gb here in ****ty Europe.

So, well, the SP is the only 720p phone with a microSD slot, and a good built quality that I can afford.

Only big problem: devs support. We have DoomLord, but no one else. I'm afraid we will never get CyanogenMod.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaper61616:
Some time ago I've spoken with fxp. They said they need to buy phone to start development.

This device is fresh so don't expect development will start from day of release. :)

BTW. XSP is middle range device... This is next reason to start development later then e.g. XZ relatively.

I was considering buy N4 or XSP or wait for some time and collect more money and buy SGN2 or XZ.

C5303 is great device, powerfull, supported LTE, nice looking, with 'big' screen, made from good quality materials, with usefull transparent iluminated bar, with good quality camera and other hardware and released with 4.1.2 (Google said that phones need to be upgraded for 18 mounths from release so we can expect something above then 4.2.2 with this specs).
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarkar1990:
Well I am thinking of getting this one. And I see no existing PA or CM support. But I used to compile my own ROMs for my Nexus (which is dead and the reason why I am getting this one) so I think I can compile for this ROM too, the only difficulty being the illumination bar API, on which I have never wrked till date.

Plus its a relatively new phone, so we will see more action once other devs buy the device too!

Cheers mates!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnMotass:
Are you really going to recant about buying an XPERIA™ SP just for waiting a week to get the color you want? Really? I must wait another half year to get mine and it isn't available here in Mexico still. I don't want to be mean but don't be like that. I'd wish to have your luck, about being in your situation.

There aren't better options for a midrange smartphone with the potential of this XSP, really, it'll be very worthy to wait for it.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaper61616:
... But there is no need to implement illumination api in apps/system in begin stage. First we need fully working cm then we can think about transparent bar and it's lights:) Think this is not so hard to implement it.:) Sony release api and documentation:) also great will be see floating touch working like in stock rom (gloves mode).:)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cidane:
As of now, Best mid range phone is still SP. S3 is a bit more expensive, but SP is better than it (except for camera and if you like amoled). If you want you can wait for HTC one mini, although its only 4.3 inches and price is not yet revealed.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaper61616:
Not this thread. Sorry. Please Delete.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fealakwen:
I believe the HTC to be far more expensive, without any expansion port, and with a huge bezel.

S3 is a good choice, yea. But the S4 mini is a complete joke. No HD, and the worst pricing ever.

Maybe, for someone that is not in a hurry, waiting for the X Phone could be a good idea. But for now, SP (and S3) rules.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darth5zaft:
Hmmm, I 1st look at N4, but it cost as much as a XZL, not worth it I guess, but getting either one will blow my budget. so I then get an XV, after three weeks a member of my local Facebook group is interested to swap his SP with My V.. He is a mobile seller who get the SP for free, but he need a waterproof phone as he ride a bike. So that how I get the SP.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliebigpot:
well, today I bought the SP - I like it a lot, the only downsides are:

- WIFI signal

- Camera is quite weak

- can't connect it to my Mac?! the option to access the storage in order to transfer files isn't there.. (tg there's airdroid)

I'll try it over the weekend but if the wifi is still an issue (intermittent signal 5m from the router with no walls in between!) I'll give it back and will look for an alternative.. we'll see :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaper61616:
... Wait for update. :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliebigpot:
Battery: ok, I installed plenty of apps and had exactly 70% left. Oddly enough this morning I had 71% left so there's a calibration issue. Now after 5 hours of occasional 3g, 20 min of offline music and some messaging it's at 29%.

Photos : not impressed :(

Wifi and 3g: connectivity is very poor.. my old Desire was a lot better and reliable

Screen: it's on auto brightness and honestly note while typing this message the luminosity changed about 10 times, pretty annoying.

Audio: excellent!

Overheating: no

(While writing this message the battery dropped to 26%)

I am seriously considering to give it back, I like the phone but the connectivity issue seems to be h hardware related.. I'm a moment of madness I even thought about buying an iPhone5 instead..
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaper61616:
About battery... Battery live is good - 2+ days standard usage: sms, calling, 3g always on, about 50 minutes wifi activity, stamina on, some photos and movies.

And when I got my phone first 2 days was waring... Battery was very week. I have charged my phone about 3-4 times. And on third day battery is ok :) strange but I'm happy it now working correctly. :)

Mobile signal is ok. Like in my previous Xperia S.

Wifi is week - waiting for SW update.

Autobrightness must be improved, this is not working properly.

Camera is not so good, waiting for SW update. :)

Usefull transparent illumination bar. VERY VERY GOOD IDEA TO PLACE IT IN THIS PHONE!!!! :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phillip Wu:
Umm. XPERIA ZR would be a perfect alternative
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliebigpot:
Yep, indeed. Only that it's slightly bigger, heavier and more expensive. But apart from that it looks like the waterproof twin of the SP :) Actually, if the wifi problems still hold on I might go back to the store and try to get the ZR instead.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliebigpot:
Well, today I gave my SP back and fetched a S4 Mini instead.

I'm not saying all SPs have the same issues as mine had, but the ones that I had (below) were pretty severe and after talking twice to the Xperia customer service and 2 factory resets they were like "just return it". I guess I was unlucky but here's what went wrong and what I really liked:

What I liked:

- Battery: after 2 full days I still had 12% left

- Screen: it's simply wonderful

- Call quality: The sound was really really good

What went wrong:

- WiFI was just horrible as I often lost signal even with the router being 3 meters away. I tried changing the router's channel/frequency but that didn't help, even my old HTC Desire has much better WiFI signal.

- Multitasking: Couldn't use 3g with Chrome (2-3 tabs open) and listen to Google Music (playing music from the SD card) at the same time as it always closed Google Music. I guess I should have seen that one coming with 1gb RAM only.

- Call issues: today all of a sudden I could only hear the other person speaking when using headphones or by activating the speaker
[Droid RAZR M General] Leraeniesh:

Really can't wait :D

Would you guys update to an M Ultra?
[Droid RAZR M General] pbanj:
i like my m so no need to update. all an update would mean is more waiting for root, unlocked bootloader, ect...
[Droid RAZR M General] calbrs:
As long as it's just an update of the current M such as better battery, more ram, faster processer.
[Droid RAZR M General] bitz_dv:
This is the first phone I like so much I don't think I will update until it breaks or something so much better comes along.... Although if the ultra m has a way better camera, maybe a physical shutter button I might have to get one sooner.
[Droid RAZR M General] spunker88:
Verizon is already supposed to be getting the Motorola X phone which is relatively small (5.06" x 2.56" according to FCC documentation) vs the Razr M which is (4.82" x 2.40"). I'm not sure how well a new Razr M would differentiate itself from the X phone.
[Droid RAZR M General] Leraeniesh:
Overall, I feel the refresh for the series is a step on the right direction. However, I'd rather grab a Moto X when they drop. Not a fan of Droid Zap, the design (hyperglaze is no fun) and the capacitive buttons. If the X loves up to the rumors, I can right up the extra screen size.
[Droid RAZR M General] spunker88:
I have a feeling the X is going to have the same X8 processor as the new Droids. The X8 is really just a Snapdragon S4 Pro with some enhancements if I understand correctly, but it could explain the X phone's high benchmarks. X should have better 3rd party development since it will be on At&t, Sprint and Verizon.

From the FCC documentation the X phone tested was 5.06 x 2.56, a bit bigger than the 4.82 x 2.40 Razr M, but still a lot smaller than the 5" screen phones out there.

Can the ROM upgrade be performed without Activesync? Using a memory card perhaps? It seems that people have experimented a lot by mixing up the ROM upgrades - are you all still having to use Activesync to install them in the end?

I cannot get Activesync to work, I get Erorr 101 connection error every time, and wondered if there is a way I can install the ROM upgrade manually?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
My main router in my house is a Netgear, and it's in the basement, which is my man cave. I set up a Linksys router on the third floor as a repeater, to get better coverage throughout the house. For some reason, my battery is draining about 15% per hour when connected to the Netgear while the phone is idle, and it only drains about 2% per hour when connected to the Linksys. Does anyone know why the Netgear would cause such high battery drain, and the Linksys isn't?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] damnyouwaffles:
Check to see if the netgear router has 5ghz (or MHz. Can't remember) capabilities.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
Is that the frequency? If so, the Netgear specs say the frequency is 2.4-2.5Ghz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] damnyouwaffles:
Hmm... Check the settings in the router to see if it is using 2.4 instead of 2.5 because 2.5 is faster but its a weaker signal. If it is set to 2.5, the weaker signal is harder on the phone to connect to than 2.4, causing battery drain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
The router is about 5 feet away from me, so the signal is great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] damnyouwaffles:
Check my post again. I changed it a lot. But since its so close and still causing drain, I'd say take the router back and buy a Linksys wireless-N router.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mktns:
Hi guys

I am going to buy a new phone

I am a little confused between LG NEXUS 4 and Samsung Galaxy S3

In my country both have the same prices

I want your opinions please

And one more thing

I saw a video on YouTube shows that N4 better than S3 in GPU only and. S3 beats N4 in other things

Is that true???

Please answer me ASAP

THANK YOU
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defnow:
Your asking if the Nexus 4 is better in the Nexus 4 forum? Lol....Nexus 4 is better.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mktns:
Well

I asked same question but between LG 4X and Nexus 4 in 4X forum and people advised me to buy N4 although that was 4X forum
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
Yeah but in that case it's almost objective that the N4 is superior in pretty much every way. There's definitely a case to be made for the S3 but in my opinion unless you care about the storage or camera the N4 is the superior choice.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastel97:
Yesterday, I saw the Galaxy Note II, Galaxy SIII and the Galaxy SIV.

The performance was great, but I have a Nexus 4 for 5 months now, and I would, even I know the features of all the new phones like the HTC One and so on, go and buy this phone again, because it's so great.

This phone is stock android, and therefore nearly all apps and tweaks and mods are working on that.

Most applications are made for the Nexus 4, because it's the model for all other smartphones, so said google.

It has always the newest software and so great ROMs, like the PACman Rom e.g.

When I first saw the Xperia Z, I found, that this device has a really bad performance and really bad colors for a newer device and for a such praised phone, in my opinion.

At least the Galaxy Devices have always these AMOLED displays, and I don't understand, why so much people like these, because I saw them in the Telekom shop and there is always text like "Turn on the LTE" branded in the screens.

If I were you, I would go and buy a Nexus 4

Nexus 4.

GS3 is a great device... But my friends always complain that it lags after a while... Which is a product of TW. So go with the N4, I love mine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lt.Win:
My friend just bought an S3, and its a great phone. But my other friend complained that his S3 started lagging / not working so fluidly in games, etc. He also mentioned that he had almost filled his storage with games. Whereas on my Nexus 4, I have only about 2.3 GB of remaining space (I play games), YET it works as though there is nothing on it. Its like the day I bought it. The S3 lag is probably because of TouchWiz. Although I've also seen many S3's with full storage but very fluid and absolutely no lags.

My opinion: If you're a camera guy, or a storage person, go for the S3.

If you're not any of the above, Nexus 4.

Good Luck!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobdroid_90:
Although there are ROMs for the GS3 now, theres no guarantee that development will continue popularly for newer android versions, since the GS3 has the exynos chip. Neuxs 4 will always have devs. Thats the main reason i bought the N4 over the GS3.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atulalvenkar:
The only things Galaxy S3 scores over Nexus 4 is Camera, removable battery and expandable storage.

Nexus 4 is ahead in the rest. Snapdragon S4 in nexus is more closer to Snapdragon 600 in Galaxy S4 than the processor in galaxy s3.

Nexus 4 will also get timely software updates for atleast 2 more years. The S3 will get at max next 2 android updates and those to 4-8 months after its release.

I think he is hinting at the Wolfson DAC that's present in S3. Wolfson does sound better than the Qualcomm one in N4. But it's not a whole lot better. It's definitely far better than the Yamaha crap present in the S2.
