[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David Planella:
Help shaping up Ubuntu Touch by joining the core apps development teams

Community-driven apps that will power the next million phones

The Ubuntu Core Apps project started as an initiative born out of the initial Ubuntu Touch announcement, with a call to our community to participate in building the core set of applications which will be considered for shipping on Ubuntu phones.

With this, we started an exciting project that provides a unique opportunity for community members to create Free Software that could run on millions of handsets.

If you’re running Ubuntu Touch on a device, you can already see the results of the work our amazing volunteer developers have been doing: Calculator, Clock, Calendar, Weather, Terminal, File Manager… these apps and more are part of this project. Together with the Canonical designers and other community designers, we’ve also got a solid UX and design story for our applications.

In essence, each core app development team organizes their work and time in the way that works best for them, where the Canonical Community, Design and Engineering teams participate in several different areas:

Development infrastructure

Engineering management

Community mentorship and support

Design guidance

With this post I’d like to share how any developer can contribute to core apps and join the core dev teams. It’s not only an opportunity to shape up Ubuntu Touch, but also to work in a truly open development environment, with the best Open Source developers and designers out there!

Participating in the core apps project

Getting started to contributing to core apps is just a few minutes away. Here are some really easy steps for developers to get all set up.

Warning:Root needed.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I wont tell you tips like turn down brightness etc.

This is seriously working method.​

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You can overclock your monster to any frequency you want.Apps like set cpu have a profiles option.

For battery follow steps below-

Set up a screen off profile

You can make the apps underclock the phone when screen turns off.

NOBODY NEEDS A RAGING CPU WHEN SCREEN IS OFF

Also set up a low battery profile. It really helps.

My settings for my p350 go as follows-

Normal Frequencies- 245-787mhz Governor-SmartassV2

Screen off- 122-245mhz Governor-Powersave

Battery less than 25% 245-480 mhz Governor-Conservative

Using above setings i get minimum -1.5 days battery backup with normal use.

Hit thanks if i helped.

[New App] Flashify Lets Root Users Flash Boot, Recovery, And Zip Updates, Backup Kernels And Recoveries To Dropbox, And More

If you're a heavy custom ROM user or a dedicated modder, you want this app. Flashify is a brand-spankin' new tool for root users with a ton of advanced function, specifically tailored to those who use custom recoveries, kernels, and boot images. The app can flash any of them right from Android, automatically rebooting your phone and applying your changes. It can do the same with more generalized Zip update files as well.

But wait, there's more! Flashify can also backup your current recovery image and kernel, either to your device's internal memory or SD card, or straight to Dropbox. It works with Android's share menu, so you can send a ZIP or IMG file to Flashify from just about any app with file browsing capabilities. Flashify will keep a record of everything that it's done to your phone or tablet.

Developer Christian Göllner reminds users that flashing files of any kind is potentially dangerous to your device, and offers no guarantee of function or safety. The app has only been tested on Nexus devices so far, but should work for anything running Android 2.2 or later. In other words: make sure you've got a Nandroid backup handy before you start playing around. And of course, you'll need to have a rooted device to use the app.

Flashify is a free download, but it's limited to three flashes per day; a reasonable $1.99 in-app purchase will unlock unlimited use of the app.

Yes, it´s in the XDA Portal Posts, so no need to copy and paste. Better report if your tried it how it works on our SGW.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Works good on the SGW. I could flash CWM and TWRP forth and back. Didn´t try flashing kernels but should be the same.

I have been trying to use Mac Address Ghost to spoof my address, and have been getting authentication problem error when attempting to reconnect to the wifi network.

I have confirmed that I am using a valid mac address, and that I have busybox and root.

Any idea what's going wrong?
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luukneele:
Hi,

had my Ouya for two days, loaded some emulators had some fun, powered it off.

Powered it on after a day or so, no screen, no powerlight, just a fan sound.

Upon making a connection to my laptop the device gets recognized as the dreaded APX.

If you had a HTC one x this would mean a hard brick right?

does the same go for an Ouya? i already contacted Ouya support, but my guess is they will get back to me within several months (if they ever get back to me) and i'll have to pay TWICE the custom charge etc etc and wait for several months to receive the console again.

any of the tech minded Ouya people who have a solution?

to clarify:

ADB does not work

Device gets recognized as APX in windows

ADB does not work so no fastboot

i have no NAND backup or a CWM installed, it's bone-stock

No screen image

No powerlight

The only thing that works is the fan which goes on
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simbaba:
hello,

:( good luck... i think it's "game over".
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faxanidu:
Yup your screwed the only way to fix it is to use NvFlash, BUT, the ouya has a Secure Boot Key(SBK), and unless ouya gives us that and the blobs you have a nice shiny paperweight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Watermeron:
I was trying the get into usb mode to fast boot but ended up clicking wipe system, now android and everything is gone including clockwork mod recovery. Not even the bootloader will work, I have tried clicking the power button and the volume up/down and it still doesn't pop up on the screen. Is there a way to install android again threw usb without doing anything on the tablet because I can't do anything on the tablet. Though when I hold the power and the volume down key at the same time when its connected to the computer a driver window poped up saying abx or something?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] oscarthegrouch:
I'm not intending to disrespect any developer making roms. I'm just wondering if others are looking through the Dev section, not recognizing any sn's to recognize their previous work and reputation? Yes there might be one or two that I know from a previous phone. I will not name them on purpose. I've noticed that the names I know have moved off into another brand phone or aren't able to dedicate as much time in development as older phones. This isn't a complaint thread. This is just me asking if other people are experiencing similar situations. Please don't name roms or devs if possible. I don't want to start any negative vibes on the wonderful and enthusiastic devs we do have on the sprint side. I will say this. I miss calkulin terribly! I hope I don't regret this confession.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exmatproton:
hi all, just a question to find others who are experiencing the same problem.

After updating (tried almost everything) to 4.2.2 i am having problems with my display. It is flickering. Especially in grey areas, but it is there on the the complete display. On every 4.2.2 rom this will appear eventually.

I've tried the stock rom, CM roms, FreeXperia roms, some others custom roms like RomAur 7.2, tried different kernels.

It's like the refresh rate is too low. like 30 or 40 fps. Or the refresh rate is not in sync with the screen updates. It is not there all the time and sometimes it is less visible. But it is there for sure.

Other people have the same issue??
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axthle:
me too ....:crying:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuzzy:
I have the same. Noticed it today for the first time.

When I turn off the backlight is seems to stop, so I think it's more the lighting than the screen.

I hope it's a software issue and it gets fixed soon!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
it is software if u hadn't it on 4.1.2 so try to flash stock kernel and rom again

>> Wipe everything and then flash :good:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dröid:
This is the first thing I noticed after installing 4.2.2. Currently I have a stock non-rooted rom.

I believe the problem is related to the background illumination, because when putting my finger onto the light-sensor, I can see how the screen darkens where the flicking is strongly visible. I looks like the illumination-level is not adjusted smoothly but rather coarse steps. Quite annoying... :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exmatproton:
Thnx for this answer, ofcourse. I tried this several times. Now, i started completely from the beginning (ALL steps as written @ RomAur v7.2 rom) and the flickering was there again. I've changed some stuff inside dev options and it seems gone. Really don't know what i did. Disabled 2d gpu, enabled hw layer, disabled this again, enabled 2d gpu etc etc etc....it seems gone...really weird..i will keep this thread open for others and if something changes, i will write it here ofcourse!:good:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amintox:

Current settings dev options(flickering seems "as gone as possible):

-usb-debugging on

-verify apps over usb on

-show hardware layers updates on

-force gpu rendering on

-force 4x msaa on

the rest is off

i am using RomAur v7.2 with the DooMKernel v9

Performance control settings:

-max 1620 MHz (set on boot)

-min 192 MHz (set on boot)

-Gov interactive (set on boot)

-IO deadline (set on boot)

-sd read ahead 256 kb (set on boot)

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandrin0:
I just got it flickering too. For now it only happened in the movies app or when playing a video from Facebook for example. Only the lower side of te screen flickers. Also, when pushing on the screen the flickering stops for a while!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A320232:
Any workarounds for this? I'm facing the same problem too. It's annoying.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkStone82:
I had the same issue a few days ago and it has seemed to go away after what I did, not saying it will not come back.

1.) Made a nandroid backup of my system, using ExistenZ v4 rom as my rom

2.) Flashed my country specific FTF, using flashtool, rom downloaded from Sony Update Service. I went all the way back to .434

3.) Rooted and then added recovery to my stock rom

4.) Flashed the .423 kernel only in flashtool

5.) Booted into CWM and restored my backup of my original rom

6.) Booted back into rom to make sure everything came back

7.) Flashed baseband from my country specific FTF

I have not seen any flickering for about 2-3 days now. Hoping it will stay way this time.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exmatproton:
I tried a similar (well, at least the cwm back-up and restore) re-install this morning. The whole day no flickering. Will keep you posted ofcourse.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exmatproton:
Okay, getting pretty mad about this...flickering is back again...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFinch:
turned security off

Turning security off (was using facial recognition) made my screen flickering go away. 2 days and counting. YMMV
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exmatproton:
Lol. Trying that right now. Still no flickering...wtf??
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exmatproton:
Hhmmm, still no flickering display over here. Using widget locker instead...all good for now

Going to let it setle for now and gonna change the settings in a couple of days to see if it will start flickering again...

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacelordmf:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exmatproton:
The flickering is back. Did not change a thing. It just started again. I don't use the navbar. I really cannot understand where this issue is coming from. Again, on 4.1.2 no such problem appears.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacelordmf:
And you have flickering. i had navbar 32dpi size mod and i had flickering. :) Now i just flashed stock 423 Honk Kong without any mods for navbar and flickering go away. AOSP browser and Aqua Mail working fine, without any screen issues. So... This problem 98% - mods for navbar, another size, or navbar off. With stock navbar this problem go away.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exmatproton:
I don't think you face the same problem. As this problem is not about apps, but the complete device. It appears also inside recovery. It has nothing to do with the nav bar. Everytime you reinstall a Rom it dissappears for a while.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacelordmf:
Yes. Now Gonk Kong with 32 dpi navbar mode - no flickering. You right.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xPoiled:
I experienced this as well and I must admit,its annoying to have a beautiful droid phone with a flickering screen.but I think just found a way to stop that.

Set ur brightness level to 100% and voila,no flicker since yesterday. So I guess the bug is related to screen brightness illumination or stuffs related to it.

will update when I encounter the problem again.

---------- Post added at 09:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

It re-appears! F*ck!! But frequency is reduced. :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
i got it too on blue backgrounds
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magikmichael:
I think it has something to do with the battery levels. When around 70/80% the flickering is much more present then on. 100 or lower. Now. I have 15% and the flickering is gone. Very strange....
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codephos:
Got the exact same problem since the 4.2.2 update. I dont know if it will be any kind of help but here is what i noticed:

1. The flickering only appears in bright daylight. When i enter a moderately lighted place from the sunlight the flickering stops, just like that.

2. Setting the brightness to %100 definitely reduces it.

Btw, my phone is not rooted so rest assure that this problem has absolutely nothing to do with rooting or unlocking BL. Guys, i think we should report the situation to Sony. Im pretty sure that they will come up with an update soon. And by "soon", i mean in the next f***ing decade or so :D :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exmatproton:
Same here.

1. over here the flickering appears randomly. no idea what this means.

2. i have my phone on 100% all the time. again, it is randomly flickering. @~75% brightness it is stronger indeed, but sometimes it just dissappears. Just like that. For now, i haven't had a flickering display for 2 days...strane bug for sure!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacelordmf:
Nobody have solution yet?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magikmichael:
