It´s a Problem with the ROM. I´ve tested some other ROMs with Cyanogenmod and they have all the same SIM Contact Problem.

I´ve backup my SIM Contacts and copied them into the Phone, but the APP "ALDI TALK" need access to the SIM. Thats another Problem.

Now I´m back on Sensei again and I can see all my Contacts on my SIM.

Very sad.

Another Problem with AOSBP 1.2.8. is there are many APK (Games) which don´t run on this ROM and Crashs
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
updated and added a new OP

This is an idea that after discussing with some XDA members and some moderators we believe will be helpful.

The purpose is to cut down on repetitive questions and give new users some guidance

If you have any suggestions or general feedback please let me know as this is a test run on something that may be in every forum here in XDA - so be happy you guys are the first and lets show XDA how great the Vision community is!

Happy Flashing!

sry demkantor i posted this n your hboot page but than came across this page. i recently flashed flinnys 11 alpha 3 and am getting horrible battery life. will altermadus work with this build or do you know any that will? its been 3 days n about 4 full battery drains n i even left the phone off while charging letting it charge about an hr after green light.

i used the set_metadata work around but i recently upgraded to 4ext so im gunna try the real deal and see what happens, but should the workaround mess with battery life?? ty. you guys all rock. thanx for keepin my phone alive n kikin!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
If by the work around you mean you changed the updatet-script I don't think that would effect battery like. As for the kernel I would ask [MENTION=4693882]HTCDreamOn[/MENTION] about this
[G2 and Desire Z General] HTCDreamOn:
RE:[FAQs][Guide To The HTC Vision] Root, Modify and More!!!--{February 2014}--

I have no idea if my kernel will work, backup and try it but it might not, nevergone said it was a new branch with selinux stuff. There might be a new kernel out soon anyway ;) ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] DaBrinz:
ty both. might just wait to see if that new kernal comes around. ill prob try your other kernal if another charge or two doesnt fix my issue. thnx again :good:

how can i change my splash screen? i installed viperz sense rom to fix the issue with my sensors not working/screen not rotating which worked fine. but now im stuck with this ugly g2 splash screen. should a full wipe have changed it back to normal?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Splash screens don't usually change between ROM flashes, if you look at the second post in this thread there is a link to a flashable splash screen aroma script that works great!
[G2 and Desire Z General] DaBrinz:
ty for the splash screen info. i had changed it while running the other rom and was just wondering how to change it back. reading thru the thread i found an app called boot flash. gunna try that out n gunna put a pic of my newborn there now :D

as for the battery drain i was using kk emoji keyboard and it seems that was my problem. after uninstalling i have much better battery life. so looks like no more emojis while clashing it up :(

-thanx for the reply and the awesome thread
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Glad to here you got it figured out! As for the splash, be careful as it isn't flashed right or the image is made wrong or wrong size you can get a brick

If you want you can upload the image and either I or [MENTION=4693882]HTCDreamOn[/MENTION] I'm sure will make one quick for you
[G2 and Desire Z General] DaBrinz:
all went well. thank you tho. one question that may seem silly. one thing eating my battery is cell standby. im just going to be using this phone over wifi, is there anyway to get rid of cell standby or are they linked together in the radio?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
*#*#4636#*#*

In dialer, then disable radio

For more tips on battery talk to [MENTION=2722834]rirozizo[/MENTION]
[G2 and Desire Z General] rirozizo:
in the battery stats, the list of apps and processes is "what are the factors that made my battery go from 100% to x%"... so if you barely use the phone from 100% till say 90%... what will be taking the most battery? android of course, and your cell standby since the cell is actually on standby... it's nothing to be afraid of. if you use the phone, this cell standby will disappear.

that's a solution :)

once again thank you for ur help. will try the disable radio thing
[G2 and Desire Z General] HTCDreamOn:
Thanks a lot :) I'm building now, especially thanks for the cm dependencies bit, I hadn't thought of that and I realise it would've failed otherwise :o [MENTION=4334383]demkantor[/MENTION] is this the sort of thing to link to from the OP/ following posts? I think it would be good to if you have time :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] BIade:
Wow, just repartitioned and formated everything on my laptop because of this post :) Amazing Tut bro!!

Especially since flinny doesn't want to his rom to be used as a base for mods and asked for building from source, THAT POST just closes the gap!! Thank you soo much

[G2 and Desire Z General] Erikson89:
Sry double post. Please delete it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] marcomarinho:
Every time you had this errors just repo sync again, sometimes they're submitting new stuff and you don't get all. Just remeber, repo sync :highfive:
[G2 and Desire Z General] HTCDreamOn:
I keep on getting an error status 9 meaning make was killed when I try to compile libwebviewchromium.so.... Do you mind sending me the libwebviewchromium.so file from CM11 and telling me how to use this instead of compiling it, in other words adding it as a prebuilt and pointing make to that instead?
[G2 and Desire Z General] marcomarinho:
Like, you're getting that error while compiling CM11 or AOSPA?
[G2 and Desire Z General] HTCDreamOn:
CM11, I gave up on AOSPA. It's because I only have 2GB of RAM, the make process kept getting killed. I just compiled and flashed CM11 without it, but I have no mobile network at all now. I doubt this is related, so I assume I need to wait for Flinny to update the source.
[G2 and Desire Z General] marcomarinho:
I will look at this. Had you repo sync again? I'm a bit busy nowadays, I get problems with PAC-Man rom, I need to compile the CM11 first to see what I need to change. Back with news soon :victory:
[G2 and Desire Z General] HTCDreamOn:
Yeah, it's nothing to do with the source itself though, it's just my lowly laptop specs. The latest CM11 source compiles fine, but WiFi doesn't work unfortunately. I've sent Flinny a logcat.
[G2 and Desire Z General] guhl99:
Hi.

The main problem with this is that the framework_base repository has been forked by Andromadus from the original CM repositories.

At the moment Flinny (and sometimes me) update the fork from the upstream CM repository only when we do a new build.

But as you are using the Andromadus repo manifest you are using also the Andromadus framwork_base (you have to otherwise it will not work on the Vision).

What happens is:

- CM added some functions to some package that also needs new functionality in framework_base (so they add it there)

- When you run repo sync you update the repository containing the package from CM but the framwork_base from Andromadus and this framework_base does not contain the things CM added to their copy of framework_base yet.

- When you try to build the package it fails because it will not find the symbols that should be somewhere in framework_base.

What can you do:

- if you are a git guru then you can manually add the cm framework_base repository as a new remote, fetch it and merge the cm-11.0 branch to your local branch (i do not go into detail here because if you do not know what that means you are not a git guru - but you might have a look at https://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/wiki/github this might give you an idea)

- you could show up at the freenode IRC channel #andromadus and ask Flinny or me to update the repo

- you can look at https://github.com/Andromadus/android_frameworks_base from time to time and if the text above the file list says something like right now "Merge remote-tracking branch 'cyan/cm-11.0' into HEAD" - "Flinny authored 4 hours ago" this means that you should repo sync again and hope that currently everything is in sync as the last merge from upstream is only 4 hours ago

Have fun - Guhl
[G2 and Desire Z General] marcomarinho:
Yes, that the big problem. It's a little difficult to build others roms because you need to adapt the sources to do not need so use Andromadus frameworks_base & av. As you know, almost every custom roms had her own frameworks_base & av, so I can't use the Andromadus one, I need to delete some stuff on device tree, and hope that works :p At the moment I had some problems with the builds, because I had bootloop (like in PAC-Man), I'm trying to fix, but don't know why, so I'm trying now to compile a CM11 rom w/o Andromadus frameworks repos, and will see if works. Compiling roms isn't so easy as seems, we need a lot of knowledge of our device and a little bit of compiling roms, work with the github. I already learn somethings, but I need to learn so much yet :good: We're always learning, non stop ;)

Thanks for the information,

Best Regards,

Marco Marinho :highfive:

Hi everyone and sorry for interrupting the discussion about Kitkat-ROM tut, but I need your help with a softbrick-problem (thanks [MENTION=4334383]demkantor[/MENTION] for redirecting me to this thread)!

so basically I tried flashing PureKat and made a mistake by completely rebooting the device instead of starting OS after Aroma installer.

result:

- bootloop

- CWM 6.0.4.5 crashes after 2 seconds

- Factory Reset & Recovery in bootloader lead back to bootloop

- no access to sdcard via PC

- disabled USB debugging on previous ROM (Flinny's CM11 Alpha 5)

tried accessing the phone in developing mode (Volume up + Power), fastboot and adb (which of course doesn't work, so no logcat available :( )

Current bootloader screen:

VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.85.0005

MICROP-0425

RADIO-26.03.02.18_M3

eMMC-boot

Oct 11 2010, 20:10:38

just saw a previous post in this thread about hboot 0.84 being required, but how can I downgrade without any possible connection to the PC? Although there is HBOOT USB PLUG written, neither adb nor fastboot returns a device in cmd...

any help appreciated!!! Thanks in advance
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Hi [MENTION=5841196]DZmind[/MENTION]

Thanks for moving the conversation here, and thanks for giving us the background to hopefully diagnose the problem

Couple more questions, has adb and fastboot worked for you in the past? Do you have other PCs and USB cables to test, do you have another method such as external reader to load files on SD card? What os (win,Mac,Linux) are you using

You should theoretically be OK with your current bootloader, but yes moving to an engineering bootloader is preferred

Can you boot into fastboot mode and try some commands on PC and then copy and past input/output here, or even a screen shot

Thanks!

[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Hi [MENTION=5842077]PeterDZ[/MENTION]

Can you give a little more detail on how this happened and what steps you have already take?

Also please look through the second post here about bricks, there will be a link with instruction on how to check if you have the 'bad' chip.
[G2 and Desire Z General] PeterDZ:
Firts, because I had an old CWM recovery 5.0.2.7 update it to the new 6.0.4.5. Then I downloaded rom PureKat and put it on the sd card. I entered the recovery and wipe data/factory reset, then I wipe cache partition, maybe I should not have to do that? Then I installed rom from sd card, when he finished in recovery I pressed reboot system now. When he reset appeared htc logo and starts to reboot itself after htc logo continuously until i remove the battery to stop. I do not know what to do I'm not an expert about android phone. Sorry if there are errors in the writing, I used a translator :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
No problem,

First step I would take is try to boot into recovery and perform a factory reset there, then flash a new ROM. If this doesn't work than I would use fastboot to wipe all partitions and flash a new recovery.

Can you get onto recovery? Does PC communicate with phone via fastboot or adb?
[G2 and Desire Z General] DZmind:
adb and fastboot were working when I flashed another ROM about 1 month ago, but I haven't tried accessing since

I could try to use a friend's PC, but my current laptop is win7 professional and unfortunately I have no external reader...

A different USB cable made it possible to get a connection to the PC in fastboot now, so I tried to get hboot 0.84 and erase recovery to install 4ext

this is what it showed me:

I put the phone into developing mode, hoping it could charge better than in bootloop, and now cmd is like this:

I guess it's because of that developing mode, but haven't found out how to get out of it yet :confused:

also checked the chip and it's Sandisk and working fine
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Hi [MENTION=5841196]DZmind[/MENTION]

I assume by developing mode you are referring to bootloader? If so the phone won't change this way, only when powered off, in os, and in recovery will it charge. So please do this

Many fastboot commands aren't available to you as you have a shipped bootloader, do you recall how you first rooted your device?

In post thirty of my vision fastboot thread there is a PC10IMG.zip I made that will flash a new bootloader, recovery, and radio to your device, I only recommend it to those who used gfree to gain root (instruction in post 30 on how to check if you forgot) but others who haven't used gfree have reported it to work just fine still

Unfortunately you will need to get this onto your SD card somehow to be able to flash it, so either need to get into recovery or os to push it to sdcard or use an external card reader (another cell phone or camera could work too)

Its good to see you have the sandisk chip, this means more than likely you can get your phone back into working order.

So charge device, try to fastboot flash a new recovery and see if you can get it to boot into it. Then we should get you true radio s-off and an engineering bootloader, than you can flash all the ROMs you want and easily be able to recover from bootloops
[G2 and Desire Z General] DZmind:
Actually no, I meant that state when you press Volume up + Power and the phone vibrates three times... I don't know the purpose and found it somewhere in a DZ-forum but I thought it was better than leaving the bootloop all the time!

How do I turn it completely off, it reboots whenever I put the battery back in and also when I use the Power off function in fastboot?

I rooted it with gfree so your advice should work out, just have to find a way to get the zip on my sdcard...

Thanks a lot!
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Oh got ya, the Qualcomm mode, I believe it should charge this way but I'm not sure

If you have an external charger this may be best right now

Also, the way you describe this it sounds as if you have a stuck power button or something to this regard, do you recall any hardware issues or times that it behaved in a way that it randomly turned off or on before? If so then you may need to open it up to clean it. This could also be a cause of the bootloops.

Are you able to get into bootloader mode at all?
[G2 and Desire Z General] DZmind:
Yeah that's it, do you know if diag mode influences fastboot access or is it just because I have fake s-off :confused:

From what I've seen until now, it charges quite well - at least better than during bootloop! LED keeps blinking in red but I can switch it on without cable as well.

I've had no hardware issues before, even though the power button became quite loose after a few months and only works on the left half, it still functions normally...

once I'm in bootloader mode, the phone doesn't turn itself off, 5 minutes later it just jumps back into bootloop.

Now I hope it's not the button because that's much harder to fix without any tools! Software fix is easier and less risky :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Well if the power button behave normally in bootloader mode than its highly unlikely an issue

So see if you can borrow someone's phone to load .zip onto your sdcard, this sounds like the only other step you can take without s-off

Well I guess being you used to gfree you should have supercid (fastboot getvar all) will tell you

If so you should be safe to boot to RUU mode and flash a stock ROM, there is a sticky in the dev thread here (also linked in this thread) for all the RUUs

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash update nameofruu.zip
[G2 and Desire Z General] PeterDZ:
I managed to recover the phone through fastboot, wiped the recovery version 6.0.4.5 and put the older version 5.0.2.7. and I installed android 4.2.2 and runs normally. Now how do I install PureKat? that recovery should I use? and what is the procedure code to installation because last time I did something wrong?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
The three recoveries list here should all work fine, but I would still recommend 4ext

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2734590

Just use fastboot to flash it, boot to recovery, make nandroid, wipe all but SD - format system/data/cache to ext 4, flash ROM, reboot
[G2 and Desire Z General] PeterDZ:
Do I have to delete this CWM to install 4ext or can just flash the new 4ext recovery? I do not understand this part "wipe all but SD - format system / data / cache to ext 4" can you explain to me?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
You don't have to but I recommend to, this would be my next steps

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery 4extrecovery.img

Now boot to new recovery

In here you will find you can choose format all partitions except SD as an option, you will also see the options to format partition from ext3 to ext4, do this

Just play around with the recovery a bit, its awesome, theme able, and just about all features you could ask for (except adbsideload)

Thanks for your help, I'll try what you wrote. Tell me do I have to install gapps or not?

It depends on the ROM, most will require a separate flash for gapps, but read the op of the ROM you want and there should be instructions there

As per our chat before:

I went through your great work here about ADB, but I prefer to do it on the phone without pc help if possible.
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
You were doing this on a gingerbread miui ROM right? If so than those commands are the same with a terminal emulator (the app from jack p is free in the play store and works great) otherwise for cm and aosp based ROMs there is an even easier way here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=830063

But this is ROM/kernel dependent so I would need to know the ROM you are trying to do it too as well
