no, you do not need to reflash any .ftf

with .211 JB up and running...which should be rooted, and cwm installed...with the phone on, connect to your pc and move the TS's .zip file to the internal storage of the phone...just place it in the root directory (when you click on the phone's internal storage in windows, just copy/paste the .zip in the first window that opens)...

then, reboot phone and load up CWM...it won't hurt to wipe everything again, but won't really matter unless you've been using .211 JB for a while...

then go to the 'flash from sdcard' section of cwm, find the .zip file you placed...select it, and flash it...it'll take a few minutes, and you can then reboot the phone from within cwm...

in my case, i had to reinstall cwm after this...but its running great...haven't noticed any major bugs so far...most of my bugs were around with JB anyway, seems to be a pretty unstable kernel...hopefully Sony releases an update at some point...but whatever...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kumbangdesa:
No need to reflesh ftf again.

In CWM, just doing wipe factory reset, wipe cache & dalvik cache. After that flash this rom.

That's all. :)

flash and cant get recovery back

i have my phone with locked bootloader flashed to this rom and now i cant flash recovery back onto the phone
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yousufhere:
Well as i said i was already in 211 ftf, rooted, bl.unlocked & installed CWM- I JUST WIPED CACHE, DELVICK, FACTORY RESET. Then i flashed the zip. Got No error, No bootloop :)

Using for 2 days now. Couldnt find any single bug with my little knowledge on android :p. I found Lte in setting but Couldnt test it coz in bangladesh there is No Lte :(. Installed loads of apps & hd games still No lagging. Beautiful rom with perfomance! I see it is deodexed rom, is it mentioned in OP?

I really wish if there is an advanced stock kernel for JB to match this rom's potential! Keep up the good work :D

A little request please make the phone App black but glossy in your next build!! :)

Edit: i also lost my CWM after flashing, so i installed CWM again :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
which recovery are you trying to install? What has worked perfectly for most of us is the 'main' CWM6 for Ion Jelly Bean kit linked at the top of Ion development forum...remember, you have to have USB debugging on and unknown sources checked before you run the batch file (when you flash blackzax on, that will be reset)...and you also have to grant access within SUuser when you run the script (you only get 10 seconds by default on the phone's prompt, if you miss it, its blocked and you'll have to find it in the log list)...so if your screen was off or something, you might have missed that...

also make sure PCC and flashtool are exited before running the recovery kit...

lastly...i had V6 supercharged vanilla jelly bean on my Ion before...seemed to work well...but i could not get it to cooperate very well with this rom...settings wouldn't hold no matter what i did, and would get my gps crash/reboot issue i've been having for months...with this specific rom, i've found autokiller memory optimizer (on the play store) to be much more compatable with this...COMPLETELY stopped the gps crash, and lets you fast switch between memory settings better for multi-tasking, or for gaming, for example...for now, this is definitely my default phone setup...pretty happy and LOVE the system UI...

the problem is u flash Blackzax'7 directly

to avoid the triangle (toolbox icon)

u need to flash stock.ftf first

then root-->install recovery-->then proceed to install blackzax

BTW the triangle is took around 5 miniute only

then u will be fine

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sorgo:
After dealing long time with triangle issue i've completely abandoned sony roms. Now, after flashing the original tft, it's done, so i've tried some roms and must say, this one I find the best with it's landscape home and performance.

The only issue I face (for now) is the search key. Does this rom miss the app that's run when pressing the search button? Can it be remaped to google search?

The search key long press gives voice search, but short press does nothing.

Can anyone confirm this issue or in better case give me a solution? thanks a lot!

[General Questions and Answers] zukrup:
hello everyone,

please pardon my english.

i have a android tv box device. It s rooted and running quite good but i want to do some modifications on that device like removing any picture during boot, hiding status bar etc. ive achieved some of those but i have still some unanswered questions about the device and main concepts of android system.

first of all

i want to make permenant changes on init.rc file. When I edit that file on rooted device, it gets overwritten to default values when system reboots. The system also overwrites some files like initlogo.1080i.rle on / (root) directory.

Is it possible to prevent this behavior of the rom from android operating system / or from any other domain?

Is it possible to create a rom zip file with mine init.rc and *.rle files , and install it from recovery?

Also I want to start my own application coded by me to run on boot before the SystemUI OR I want to the SystemUI starts hidden and then my own application will run. But in all situations I don't want to be showed up android's UI.

Is it possible to hide navigation layout (bar) by adding a start-up parameter to the SystemUI's launch command which is placed in the init.rc file?

Thanks for your help.

I got it. The Android client does two requests. The first request gets answered by a redirect to the actual download location. This implements some kind of load balancing. I have documented the packets I sniffed here: ceving.blogspot.de/2013/07/androids-package-download.html

So I talked with the dev of Team Battery Bar app and he's going to release a dual battery bar! So it will show the tablet battery level in one battery bar and then under that it'll show the docking keyboard batter level in another battery bar. I'm not sure how much screen space he's gonna use(guessing 1 or 2 dp per bar), but that should be pretty sweet! I'd actually much more prefer having a battery bar than the dual battery widget. I dont like using widgets and I don't like my notification center all cluttered up.

There's a new OTA update available for the Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V variant from Wind Mobile, Eastlink, Videotron in Canada.

This is the update that finally brings the much awaited Apps2SD feature to our phones. It also includes the following enhancements:

- Some new icons in the settings

- Additional 'Smart Pause' button in quick settings

- Stability improvements

- Upgrades the camera firmware.

- Storage shown as 16GB now, but 6.38 GB is occupied by System memory under 'Misc'.

Firmware version: M919VVLUAMG1

Will the update kill ROOT?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dj_aj:
The OTA will fail to update if you're rooted.

I had to Odin back to stock and then apply the OTA update.

So yes, the update will break root.

I haven't tried to root it since, so I can't report any progress there.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Luthien1:
you can blame me for the update not being released and it wont be released for months, according to my sources. I talked to t mobile about all the bugs they have, so they said fine, we will do everything never to give bugs again, hence a long update period...It was probably my phone calls that lead to this wait
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Burner2K0:
You son of a ..... ;__; :crying:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dj_aj:
I realize it's always an agonizing wait to get your hands on the newest firmware. However, there's a bright side to it. You all are still able to root and tinker with your devices.

I haven't been able to root the newest firmware using motochopper and am hesitant to try CF-Autoroot because in the case it does trip the flash counter and I loose root, I won't be able to reset it.

So, by the time tmobile sends out the update, there hopefully is a way to root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] stevessvt:
Next time if your already rooted you can grab the app voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, which should be able to protect and reapply root after an update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dj_aj:
Thanks for that tip. However, I doubt it would've worked because since I was rooted, the update failed to complete installing around 25%. So, I had to odin back to stock and then apply the OTA. Probably something to do with a locked bootloader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] stevessvt:
Under About Phone/Status, where you 'Official'?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dj_aj:
Yeah, the phone status was 'Official'. You'd have to be in order to get OTA updates/notifications.

Initially upon rooting, the status changed to 'Custom', But I followed the guide below to revert it to 'Official' while retaining root.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dj_aj:
If you are going to be using Kies to upgrade your firmware and force it by using the 'Emergency Firmware Upgrade' setting I believe that Kies will download the entire firmware and flash it, in turn clearing up root.

If you upgrade via OTA, you can certainly try by purchasing SuperSu Pro and enabling Survival Mode or by using OTA Root Keeper. But I haven't tried these myself. In my case the OTA kept failing so I had to odin flash the new firmware and then root via CF Auto Root.

I honestly think that you may have more luck getting your answers in the At&t subforum since that is more closer to your variant than mine from Wind Mobile.
