[Raspberry Pi General] huisinro:
I have received quite some emails for the beta testing, thanks. I will try to release the first test version late next week, stay tuned.

This first version will NOT contain miracast emulation, our upcoming versions will have that ready, so Android devices can also mirror screens to raspberry pi.
[Raspberry Pi General] Alias84270:
pretty cool!!!!
[Raspberry Pi General] tahitibub:
Thanks for this !

I've just sent an email to be a beta tester.

Regards
[Raspberry Pi General] fightforlife:
Does this beta already support Miracast?
[Raspberry Pi General] huisinro:
This beta won't have miracast support. We do have internal version that works, we tested on S3 (with 4.1.1), S3(4.2.2), and Nexus 4/7, we need more testing on this before releasing to the public. It will be cool, I assure you.
[Raspberry Pi General] jashsoft:
Very impressive!! I already have a Rasp Pi hooked to my TV. This would be very useful. I recently ordered the $35 Chromecast so I could do mirroring with Chrome.
[Raspberry Pi General] huisinro:
Spent a few days to emulate Chromecast inside rPlay, finally it can find the rPlay (on Raspberry Pi) as a chromecast device, and it can send youtube URL redirection. still long way to go, but seems possible.

Attached is a screenshot of Youtube on Nexus 7, the Chromecast button is shown, when clicked, it will show rPlay as the device.

Hello,

my tablet pc.

http://www.everbuying.com/product407513.html

stucks in booting, i get an boot loop, and i dont know what to do.

I already use the reset button a the back, doesnt work.

Please anyone can help me? :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Power off the device completely, then power on the device and boot into recovery mode. Once in recovery mode select the factory reset, and wipe cache options. Then after you have done that reboot the device and the tablet should now boot up normally without getting stuck in a bootloop. Let me know if you still have questions :).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LegendZz:
I can' enter recovery mode :/ Also dont work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
What key combination did you try to get into recovery mode, did you power on the device and hold down the key combination until the device vibrated indicating it was booting into recovery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LegendZz:
Power and Volume Down, as everytime, I know how to enter recovery mode, but now it dont work.

Hey everyone,

So I'm pretty new to the weird and wonderful world of rooting and custom ROMs, and as part of my research I just wanted to learn about the most common ways to completely ruin your phone. So bring on the horror stories!

Check the pockets of the clothes you are washing.....I lost many gameboy games that way when i was a child :P

And dont update with low battery and dont turn off the phone during an update/flashing a rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ejhollyer:
Be patient. Seriously. I remember the first time I was backing up in recovery I got frustrated and terrified that I messed something up after 2 minutes, and shut off the phone. Thankfully this was just during a backup, but I've heard plenty of brick stories of the "I don't think anything's happening after __ time, I'll just kill it it."

Also, READING IS FUNDAMENTAL. There are often silly nuances of your phone giving you some type of message and your left to pick a command. Often every other install sees the same message, and it isn't necessarily true that the right option looks like the right option.

Read and be patient.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trissynashville:
Back everything up as you go. It's easy and quick and can save you loads of time and effort if something goes wrong. In my experience, when following instructions and proceeding carefully it's difficult to brick your device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
I like to get drunk and flash stuff on the weekends though!

You know what I do when I buy a video game? If you guessed read the instructions then play the game, you're dead wrong! I jump right in and start killing stuff!

Anyways, my point is, sometimes I'll just miss a step, or not pay attention, and was wondering is it easy to get out of a jam like that? I've never worked Odin, but have some adb experience. Can I just Odin back to the stock image and restore a nandroid after I get a recovery back on it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] KennyG123:
As someone may use this thread to commit warranty fraud it is being closed

Moral of the story is: Backup backup backup

Do not flash anything not specifically for your model and carrier unless VERY specific instructions are given by someone who succeeded

Hmm...

- ICS volumebar

- ICS taskswitcher

- ICS setting switches

- ICS toggles

- ICS statusbar

- ICS-Themed Framework

It looks like we need only ICS framework base and anything else to make on our phones false ICS/JB :)

Nice volumebar. I've added it to my phone :).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vk2r:
Hello friends!

I'm something new, in this development of ROMS.

It is for this reason that I have some questions.

A) I would like my ROM have the latest version of the PlayStore (4.1.10), together with Google Settings, and Google Now.

B) I would like a specific application, was hidden from the Launchers. That its icon does not appear.

C) I would like my ROM files have "Google Text-to-speech" of factory.

D) I would change the Browser factory, for Google Chrome.

E) I would change the Browser Home Page.

I would like to know, how to do all this ?

I know it's too much to ask, though, just ask any help, or just where to turn.

I hope you can help me :rolleyes:

Victor.
[Xperia Z General] HoOnZ:
Well, I went to check out the T-Mobile branded Xperia Z C6606 at the Sony Style store and was disappointed to see that the bootloader is locked.

I was trying to get information online if it was locked or not but couldn'tget any confirmation. I know that it'sprobably locked by T-mobile, but I was hoping.
[Xperia Z General] LenAsh:
All branded/carrier phones are. Tell us something new...
[Xperia Z General] HoOnZ:
I've seen some phones in the past that were sold by T-Mobile or other carriers but were not bootloader locked. With T-Mobile's new business model and the fact that Sony was selling it outright at their stores, you would think that it should be unlocked.
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
All phones have locked bootloaders when they come from the store. 'Bootloader unlock allowed' means if it is allowed to unlock it yourself or not, but doing so will void your warranty and wipe your DRM keys (which are needed for Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2, MusicID/Gracenote, etc.).
[Xperia Z General] DrKrFfXx:
There is a carrier here in Spain that sells unlockable Xperias. It's the fourth mayor carrier so is not a shady one.
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
sim locked and locked bootloader are two separate things. >.>

usually when some stores states "selling unlocked xperia/galaxy/iphone/ etc.." it means the phone is unlocked and it can be used anywhere else. When you purchase a phone from a store (Sony store) or carrier (At&T) it is locked to them. In other words, the phone cannot be used with another sim card like T-Mobile, since the phone is locked to At&t.
[Xperia Z General] DrKrFfXx:
I totally understand what is sim and boot lock.

I've had in my hands a couple of Xperia devices from that company (Yoigo), one Xperia Mini Pro I think, and the other one a Xperia Z, and both had "Bootloader Unlockable: Yes" on the service menu.
[Xperia Z General] skynet11:
I've read that some custom ROMs can still be flashed on this phone without unlocking the bootloader. Is this true?
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
Yes, if they are based on the stock kernel.
[Xperia Z General] iamswissbanks:
anyone have the basebands ftf for this model yet?
[Xperia Z General] PR0XIDIAN:
T-Mobile isn't really known for locking bootloaders. Verizon on the other hand... When it comes to locked boot loaders it seems to be like this.

Locked carriers:

Verizon

at&t

Mostly unlocked carriers:

Sprint

T-Mobile

Phone brands locked:

HTC

Sony Xperia

sometimes LG

Phone brands not locked

Huawei

Samsung

This has just been my experience.
[Xperia Z General] DOTC:
Will the roms in the development thread work on the TMO version? Might go pick this up in a week or two.
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
Only if they're based on the stock kernel. Something like 'for locked bootloader' has to be mentioned. They often have 'LB' in their titles.
[Xperia Z General] DOTC:
This maybe a stupid question, but I've never flashed a ROM on a locked bootloader. Will the roms still be able to be bloat and CIQ free?
[Xperia Z General] dnaL0R:
i understand that the bootloader is locked for the t-mo version (c6606), but what about root?

i want to be able to run ti backup and get rid of all these ads...
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
locked bootloader has nothing to do with its ability of being rootable or not.

Root should run fine on tmo version.
[Xperia Z General] dnaL0R:
gotcha... just found out that the DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit was just updated to v17 to support my device...

all good now :good:

now i just need to upgrade to 4.2.2
[Xperia Z General] E90 Commie:
I played with the TMO version today and find it inferior compared to my own C6602. The first problem is the branding and bloatware - yes it is bloated carrier style and a lot of TMO notifications where shown on the demo unit. One of the demo units had noticeable lag, much worse than my C6602 back in March on .350. The other one were smoother.

I managed to put System Tuner on one of them - it runs the standard Interactive governor and 384-1551 is the used frequencies.

The price tag was very high - $610, $579 with "appropriate plan". More expensive than in the Sony Store for an unbranded, unlocked and superior C6602.

I just don't see any reason to buy the TMO version when there is the C6602 available for less money (albeit at a small difference) that can be bootloader unlocked and optimized. Paying MORE for a carrier branded device? No way.

To those that feel that they need to talk LTE with me as a reason to buy the branded edition: wait for the Honami instead - it will offer a superior LTE radio, which means that it can be used on many carriers. I base this assumption on the nice multiband LTE radio that the Z Ultra offers.

After playing with the T-Mobile version, my recommendation of the C6602 instead is stronger than before.

To those that want to argue about prices: use a credit card instead if $539 is "too much".
[Xperia Z General] dnaL0R:
t-mobile's wifi calling feature is the ONLY reason why i went with the C6606... having lte is nice too, i guess :p
[Xperia Z General] E90 Commie:
I don't get the reason the have WiFi Calling when there is a little thing called Google Voice. I can make free calls to the whole US that way and even configure it as a 100% IP phone with GrooveIP. For international calls, I am using Viber or Voice (my relatives in Sweden use Viber so we have free calls).

To me, carrier bloat and locked bootloaders are total dealbreakers and I can't really see how WiFi Calling can compensate.

LTE? I will get it when I can buy a standard, unlocked device and use it. As long as I need carrier branding in order to use it - I say pass.
[Xperia Z General] dnaL0R:
is there a way to use google voice with your cell number?

t-mo's wifi calling is cool because you can send/receive calls and texts just like every other voip services, but it uses your own number.
[Xperia Z General] E90 Commie:
You can port a cellular number to Google Voice.

GV is superior of the simple reason that people only need your GV number, behind it - the calls are routed to the right phone and you can configure what phone that should be connected etc.

People call me with the GV number and it works great. It also shows on their caller ID when I make international calls (I use it for that).

I don´t like proprietary solutions like T-Mobile WiFi Calling since I don´t accept to be locked down - I demand flexibility and the ability to buy whatever device I want.

Google Voice is the best solution I have ever used, great visual voice mail, great integration with the Android dialer, cheap international calls (2 cents per minute to landlines in Sweden for example), free calls and texts in the US and the ability to port a mobile number in, it is also possible to take an old Android device and make it landline by using GV and GrooveIP etc.

GV is simply a great service that is worth to use.
[Xperia Z General] dnaL0R:
what if you are out and about in an area where you get very limited service/2G... won't that sacrifice google voice's call quality since the service requires data access? i have thought about GV in the past a few times, but i am not 100% sure i want to commit [port my cell# over]...

EDIT:

also, are all calls made from GV free? i don't see it using up your plans minutes since it's a voip service... maybe i can port my number over to GV and down grade to a 100 minute plan...
[Xperia Z General] zackspeed:
Interesting info here. I went to look at the Z today as well but was kept from finding out to much on the device. With it being locked I guess the real question is will it be able to be unlocked at some point? Also if I am going to pay full price for a new device (oh wait sorry) more than Sony charges I should be able to unlock the stupid thing. At this point I think I will just keep my Ion and take it to T Mo. Wait for this Z to come down in price ;)

Oh one thing I forgot to mention was the display unit was trying to download a GS3 pack of some kind and would not stop trying. I pointed this out and stopped it by force stopping the play store. This was the point they where trying to get me away from it lol. Have no clue why it would download a S3 pack of some sort especially seeing as the market would not load on it. Was very strange.
[Xperia Z General] E90 Commie:
Google Voice can be used as a 100% VOIP service by configuring it via GrooveShark. That way, it is routed through the data connection (otherwise it integrates with the dialer and use your minutes).

It is possible to use GV as a pure IP solution when WiFi or highspeed data is being used and then have a 100 minute plan for regular calls when data coverage is low.

It is also worth to mention that T-Mobile should be ashamed for their proprietary WiFi Calling that requires a branded device: Tele2 in Sweden offer a similar app called Tele2 +46 that works on ALL devices, i.e. unlocked and unbranded. You just download it from Google Play. The only requirement is that you have a Tele2 plan. So other carriers can provide what T-Mobile fails to offer.

To those hoping for a T-Mobile bootloader unlock: Don't hope for that. The Sony unlock service won't be available and I wouldn't even bet on the possibility for hacking the BL open. There has been many carrier branded Xperia's with locked bootloaders and no one has been cracked open yet.

For those that absolutely want T-Mobile - get the C6602 from Sony and put it on a T-Mobile prepaid plan in order to save taxes and fees.

And again: wait for the Honami if you think that LTE is the reason why you want a branded and locked device.

To me, LTE is of absolutely no interest as long as the branding requirement is there (Honami will solve that problem). Carrier branding and locked bootloaders can't be compensated by LTE. Every thinking person should realize and understand that it is something severely wrong when a global network standard suddenly requires branding. That is simply improper market conditions.
[Xperia Z General] zackspeed:
The key thing about boot loader is you must have fastboot to crack it from what I have seen. That is the issue seeing as Sony remove fastboot. They will try and point at the carrier but seeing as the few LT28at that got unlocked where done with a Sony program that was pulled offline shortly after so I don't see it happening. Quite a shame to seeing as your still paying a unlocked price.
[Xperia Z General] SwayProductions:
i might be getting the T-Mobile version of this phone today, any way to unlock it for at&t yet?
[Xperia Z General] bane126:
NooB questions.

What's up XDA community. So, I have this phone coming in today and just so I understand this correctly...

*bootloader is locked and most likely will never be unlocked BUT you can flash ROMs (when they become available for this variant) if they are based on the stock kernel

*device can be rooted

Did I get that right?
[Xperia Z General] E90 Commie:
1. You can only flash stock based ROMs that says BL in the title.

ROMs that are NOT based on the Sony stock CAN'T be flashed. The same applies to custom kernels - i.e. no DoomLord kernel and therefore neither OC or UV.

2. Yes, it can be rooted.

3. It is possible to unbrand it by flashing the original Sony ROMs for C6602 and C6603 according to some posts.

I still don't get why people are rushing after the T-Mobile edition despite it being expensive, branded and locked.

Go and get the C6602.
[Xperia Z General] bane126:
E90 Commie, thanks for the reply. You brought up some valid points and dammit, now I have to really think about what I am going to do since I was planning on leaving Sprint today to get on TMo. If you don't mind I have another question, by flashing one of the original Sony ROMs will it disable the LTE on the TMo edition? Not that LTE is a deal breaker but just curious about it.
[Xperia Z General] dnaL0R:
i will be returning mine pretty soon... was not aware of the "wifi issues" of this phone [google it] and it's driving me nuts...

i wish i can keep it bcuz its an awesome device, but idts... i'll wait for the next flagship, the konami... i mean honami :p
[Xperia Z General] Tweezydak1d:
I have the t-mobile version and I flashed a c6603 stock Rom and I still get LTE I didn't flash the baseband I kept it the stock tmobile one
[Xperia Z General] bane126:
Tweezydak1d, thanks for reply! Now, I got another question for you if you don't mind. So can you upgrade to c6603 4.2 stock ROM (if it even exists) and keep TMo LTE? Also, are you having any issues with WiFi like dnaL0R mentioned? I know this totally hit or miss and not every phone is affected but you would think Sony would fix it as they push updates to the phone.

Again, thanks for taking the time to reply. Appreciate it.
[Xperia Z General] dnaL0R:
i would like to flash the stock C6603 as well and try it out... can you link me the thread where you were able to accomplish this? i need a little guidance...

as for the wifi issues, i am going to give this a try: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2216947

and just wait for t-mo to push out an official 4.2 update :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z General] bane126:

[Xperia Z General] dnaL0R:
alright, i am trying this method [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2216947] to see if i can resolve the wifi issues, but i don't have enough time until the system automatically reboots itself after changing permissions to be able to paste the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini file... grrr, wth...
