[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugeneeaster18:
recently, i ported a cm7 rom. I forgot to included some stuff and I just want to make a update.zip to flash these folders to the system.

The folders are the app, media, and fonts. I also want to flash build.prop. I want to make the update.zip because I dont want to flash the whole rom over again. How do a make the updater script to do so:(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Check this. If you wish, you can do this manually, only search here for "flashable recovery zip" or "flashable cwm zip", there are several guides.

Source.

GSMArena also mentions that there's more to come, maybe CM 10.1 users would get some Sony apps.

Any thoughts? I'm very happy about this. Instead of hopping on the "google edition" bandwagon, they actively support the dev community and encourages them, they also push continuous updates to old devices and don't leave their users hanging out to dry. Excellent move Sony.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Yenkazu:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Georges2251:
Isn't it the Tmobile version? Maybe that's why.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Yenkazu:
Nope it's different

LT30p = Xperia T James Bond Official Phone

LT29i = Xperia TX replica, almost same but with removable battery

XD
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Georges2251:
Wait.

A removable battery makes that much of a difference?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Yenkazu:
Actually, yes

It's because logic board kind a little bit different

You can compare Xperia T and Xperia TX logic board if you disassemble them

XD
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Geo2160:
Yes, a phone with a non-removable battery needs a button combo for a reset(battery removal equivalent) which can only be implemented on a hardware level.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Vaizen:
Well these are good news but IMHO CM team should first solve the stability problems related to camera and image apps that are the resposible of a big part of the rebootspresent on CM 10.1, and then they should improve the camera possibilities.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
Maybe Sony could help cm with a good stable cm10.1 for the Xperia T
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dyfk3l:
Sony as a role model when it comes to custom ROM delevoping - great! :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Yenkazu:
For me, it's bad news

It show, how "weak" Sony developer to deliver "normal" stock for user

Of course, we have advantages too, we have open source

But the next question, who will build custom rom for us like CM ?

Not many developers nowadays

XD
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cmajetic:
yep sucks that Sony has less users than Samsung (almost no one here...), they have the worst base but because of the mass they still have a better cm10.1 in the end and about 100 times as much roms...

random reboots is a very important part of it ;)

No more sony for me when my contract ends. Next phone is gonna be a nexus. Got a nexus tablet and it works so good with cm10.1
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matt4321:
I've been really impressed with Sony, I'll stick with them for a while. But make sure I can get a boot loader unlockable version. Won't make that mistake again ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
IMO if you want to install custom ROMs and mod the crap out of your device, you better buy either a Nexus or a Sony phone. Nexus for obvious reasons and Sony because they support the Android developer community the best by far out of any manufacturer.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Schuan:
But how come there is no Xperia V news so far?

i hope cynogen can combined the camera with sony, becuz compare it and sony in my xperia v, same pic same distance i take, it a bit blurred, with sony camera, very sharp and clear,

anyway, i hope it become a successful project for both to improve xperia v, tx, t and tl
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chinmoy32:
PORT of Xperia Z, or Honami's Camera UI and libs, Drivers for Xperia TX LT29

since xperia Z , ZL have the same 13 MP camera i was thinking their camera drivers like libs and so files and even possible camera Ui might be ported for Xperia TX .

it would be great if some one can port the drivers and/or the SEMCcamera UI from Honai Z1 to TX

please developers try to do that , it will meant a lot to us general users to have a better performing camera :):good:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WasifSal:
Hey guys. I saw a Nexus 4 (16GB). It had the baseband version of "m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.33"

I live in Pakistan so i have no 3G/4G/LTE (yup we're that backwards!)

This phone couldn't detect my 2G operated SIM Card :/

Where it detects and worked well with my Galaxy SIII

Still haven't bought that Nexus 4 (buying it 2nd hand).

A person confused me in saying that is was a "CDMA PHONE AND IT CAN'T WORK WITH UR GSM SIMs AND ROOTING/MODDING WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS"

Is he telling the truth? This phone was actually a bargain for me and had no problems whatsoever in the Hardware/Software wise other than the above

Can someone please elaborate this? thank you :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopezk38:
He is completely wrong. Nexus 4 is GSM only, with no CDMA variant. If your SIII worked, I don't see why the Nexus 4 wouldn't. It appears to be running an older radio firmware, maybe updating it to 4.2.2 would help.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
Pretty much this. Try flashing a newer version of the radio.

Maybe your friend was right (backwards, but right). Your carrier might be CDMA. I know there aren't a lot of carriers that use CDMA outside the US, but maybe your carrier is one of the few. I would try updating the radio first before completely giving up on it though. If you can find out whether they are CDMA or not, that'd help decide whether you can use the Nexus 4.

Oh, and "ROOTING/MODDING WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS" is kind of misleading. Yes, technically, flashing new ROMs can affect the signals and stuff, but if you flash a ROM that has had plenty of testing, you'll be fine. Just pick a semi-popular one.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atulalvenkar:
What's the version of android? If it's 4.2.2 the baseband should either be 48 or 54. 33 is an old one.

Does calling work? Or both calls as well as data don't work?

If it's just data you need to make sure data is enabled in settings and also your operators APN is present.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WasifSal:
It was 4.2.1. So I think I just left a bargain away xD

It wasnt the problem with the phone afterall...anyways.. thank you and others from replying with ur useful tips :)

I heard mobilink is selling Nexus 4 in Pakistan. Maybe you can check with them.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuckFuggets:
Have a nexus 4 running paranoid android 3.6 June 24 release, sometimes when I go to the camera app, it's just a black screen as if lens don't open, this happens at completely random times, like for instance I'm using the camera, I go play a game, come back after like 10 minutes to use the camera again, then it doesn't work. after a minute of that black screen it just says gallery force closed and sometimes just reboots itself, but the reboot is rare. This is such an annoying bug and pisses me off so much cuz it happens so often, I'm pretty much at the point where I always reboot my phone before using the camera because I know it's going crash. It's there any way to fix this?? :( additional info I've had this phone since like February, running pa3 rom, faux 123 kernel v16tbu, and running that camera mod thing that increases the video bit rate to 20 mbps.

Thanks!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
clear the data for the gallery apk. also, remove the camera mod. does it still happen?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuckFuggets:
Yup I have done that many times. No effect whatsoever
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
and you have tried without the custom kernel, and with a different rom?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuckFuggets:
I've tried using different kernels, same result. As for the rom, no I don't want to switch away from pa as I have grown accustomed to it and really like it, but ever since a few updates ago to pa this problem has happened. I never experienced this problem on stock rom or on aokp
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
sounds like its a PA thing then. if you want to be for sure, nandroid backup your PA and try a stock or aosp rom for a day or two, see if it pops up again. or you can wait until it happens, then run a dmesg, then send someone in PA the log to read/check. maybe they can fix the problem that way.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuckFuggets:
Yeah seems like it! :/ I think I'll go with the second option, it should be faster lol. How do I run a dmesg? What is that anyway?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
open a terminal emulator(i use android terminal emulator, free, play store), type in su then press enter, then type dmesg and press enter. dmesg provide kernel messages/activities, itll show errors as they happen too.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuckFuggets:
Oh that's cool. So I do that after the camera fails? Then how do I show that to a pa person"
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yes, after it fails. copy/paste then email or.. android terminal emulator has a send to option if you press the menu button.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuckFuggets:
Oh ok cool, I'll do that next time it fails then. Also this is a little off topic, but what about random reboots? Sometimes for example I'm texting, or using the keyboard in general (99% of the time it happens when I use the Swype keyboard or when I'm texting), then all of a sudden it goes straight to the boot animation and reboots. Why? And do I do a dmesg for that too?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
no, for a random reboot you want to run a last_kmsg afyer booting back up. itll show why you randomly rebooted. last_kmsg is produced when the phone reboots on its own.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuckFuggets:
So then how do I show someone that? And where can I find the kmsg :/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
in the terminal emulator app..

su(press enter)

cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt(press enter)

then the file will appear in your storage(main fs).

or grab it from /proc/last_kmsg/
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
After numerous requests I've received from users concerning how-to build kernels, this guide will mostly answer your need to do so.

This guide will be separated in 3 distinct parts: Downloading sources, Building the actual kernel and making a working boot image and or zImage. So let's begin!!

Requirements: A linux computer

Part 1: Downloading sources

Before bulding any kernels, you must have it's source code. Every Android device manufacturers have the OBLIGATION to post them in order to comply with the GPL (GNU General Public License). You can mostly find them in their developpers specified site. You have two ways of download the required source in order to build a kernel: The manufacturer website or git.

1.1: Downloading using the manufacturer's website

You can download your Galaxy Player kernel source using mostly this website: opensource.samsung.com

When you're in it, you can go to the MP3 players section and take the source according to your device. To get the kernel source, unzip the xxxopensource.zip and you should see 2 separate files. Unzip the one with the mention KERNEL in it, it is your kernel.

1.2: Using git

Some of you may know it, some others not. For those who don't know what git is, here's a little explication from it's website

A lot of developpers from around the world do use git because of it ease of use. There are several websites that uses the git protocol. The two most known are github and gitbucket. In order to download your kernel source, you must have found someone who uploaded it into these websites. For this example we will use the Cyanogenmod github's profile. You can download the source with 2 ways:

First way

1. Go into a existing kernel source repository (for example this one: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_aries)

2. Click the Download zip button situated at the mid-right

3. Unzip the zip and you should find your kernel source.

Note: When using this method, you must be sure of the branch choosen. Problems can happen if the wrong branch is used.

Second way

Note: You must have the git dependencies for linux. To download them for Debian, Ubuntu, please run this command: sudo apt-get install git-core, gnupg, flex, bison, gperf, libsdl-dev, libesd0-dev, libwxgtk2.6-dev, build-essential, zip, curl, libncurses5-dev, zlib1g-dev, ia32-libs, lib32z1-dev, lib32ncurses5-dev, gcc-multilib, g++-multilib

1. Go into a existing kernel source repository (https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_aries)

2. We're going to "clone" the repository, to do so you will so this particular command:

git clone https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_aries.git aries

(the second aries word will be the name of the actual folder)

If you want to download another branch (because the one downloaded is the one shown in the website)

git clone https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_aries.git -b jellybean aries

(where's the -b means branch)

You should have your kernel source named aries output in the folder you specified. :D

Second part will cover mostly how to build a kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Part 2 Building an actual kernel

In order to build a kernel, you must use an arm toolchain.

Here's a zip containing the arm-eabi-4.4.3 and arm-androideabi-4.6 toolchains

Toolchains Download

2.1 Exporting the toolchain path

Once you've downloaded a toolchain and are ready to build the kernel source into a kernel binary, enter to the directory of that said kernel, (cd aries in this case). You must export the location of your toolchain so the kernel source can know from where it has to build. To do so:

For arm-eabi-4.4.3

"export CROSS_COMPILE=~/home/yourusername/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-"
"export ARCH=arm"

For arm-linux-androideabi-4.6

"export CROSS_COMPILE=~/home/yourusername/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-"
"export ARCH=arm"

2.2 Using a config file

In order to build a kernel, you MUST use a config file which defines the device's components. The easiest way of doing so is to take the manufacturer's stock configuration file (generaly it's a defconfig file found in arch/arm/configs). To create one, you use the make menuconfig command while in your kernel root directory. If you use a different source than your manufacturer one, You have to either ask the developper or to search for this file. (I can't say really much about it :p).

2.3 Building the kernel

Once you've your config file and toolchain set up, you can begin the build. To do so you execute these command:

make cyanogenmod_galaxys_defconfig (This is just as a example, replace it by whatever your defconfig is)
make -jx (x is the number of jobs your computer can do a the same time. The recommended way to know how many to use is to take the number of cores in your CPU +1

Depending on the number of threads (jobs) used, it will be either long or not to compile your kernel. (Generally it takes between 5-15 minutes to compile a single kernel).

Once your kernel have been built, you will have it into the form of a file named zImage situated in arch/arm/boot. This kernel is usable for some devices, however it is not usable for ours. DO NOT EVER EVER FLASH THIS BINARY. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKS!!

The third part will help you getting a bootable kernel for your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Part 3: Making a bootable kernel

Note: This is a in-progress part so it may be unclear to some people. I will try to do it as much as understandable for everybody.

The kernel binary obtained at the second post is mostly not bootable due to the the fact that the initramfs isn't inclued. The initramfs is the actual ramdisk of your device. To find one... well you must find it (I can't really do anything for you). If you do have one initramfs in a folder, you must specify it in the config file with this current line:

CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=""

Once this has been applied, you can make build this kernel and it should boot

Note that this applies mostly to the model of the 4.0 and 5.0 (and for GB as well). 3.6 and 4.2 uses a different method of using a boot image

thanks!! really gonna try this sometimes!!! (once you get part two and three out of the tutorial XD )
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Androthan:
If someone is interested in the config file for the Galaxy Player 3.6, he can find it on my GitHub: http://www.github.com/team-hurricane-xda.

How to set it up:

0. Download the config file

1. Rename the config file to aalto-deconfig

2. Copy the file to <kernelsource>/arch/arm/config

3. cd ~/path/to/kernel

4. make aalto-deconfig

5. make
